This occurred particularly when echoes from some war abroad caused the whole school to divide into rival armies for the staging of regular battles, as during his second year, when all had to be Turks or Russians. But Keith didn't like battles except in books, and mostly the pauses broke up the class communities into small coteries or pairs.
Of course, the prime difficulty in devising realistic problems is the fact that in war our whole fleet would be employed together against an enemy fleet; and as the staff cannot supply an enemy fleet, it must either imagine an enemy fleet, divert a small part of our fleet to represent an enemy fleet, or else divide our fleet into two approximately equal parts, one "red," and one "blue."

"It's No. 24, and it stands. The chechaquos took it serious, and they begun stakin' where you left off. Staked clean over the divide, too.
Those who escape the river may go home and take my blessing along with them." "Then do you intend to divide our troops into two bodies?" asked Bladud. "Of course I do. We can't have an ambush without dividing, can we?" "Division means weakness," observed Gunrig. "You were ever obstinate, Gunrig," said Gadarn, sharply.
The brilliant success which attended its first specimen M. Gaudinois took Jackson's imposition without a murmur promoted confidence in the public, and they rushed to buy. Orders poured in from all the houses, and by the middle of the term the organisers of the scheme were able to divide a substantial sum.
Should she marry again and at the time of her husband's death she wanted two or three years of thirty she might divide the estate between Rupert and any other children she might have, she having purchased the estate with her dowry, and having right of appointment between her children as she chose.
