At a parade, one bright November morning, when we were at Salisbury, a certain brigadier-general from Ontario, since killed in action, while reviewing the soldiers of a particular battalion, made a unique speech to the boys when he said: "Lads, the king and Lord Kitchener and all the big-bugs are coming down to review us to-day, and for once in your lives, men, I want to see you act like real soldiers.
The mate now got under his quilt, and turned his face toward Lemuel, with one hand under his cheek. "They don't let everybody into this room, 's I was tellin' ye. This room is for the big-bugs, you know. Sometimes a drunk will get in, though, in spite of everything.
Look here, Smith, the fact of the matter is that he's a sort of black-sheep sent out on the remittance system, if the truth is known, and with letters of introduction to some big-bugs out here that explains how he gets to know these wire-pullers behind the boom. "Yes," said Smith, hesitatingly. "That all sounds right enough.
Oh, One-Eye, y're not goin' away right off?" "T'night." "Oh!" "But, shucks, I'll be sailin' back East again in no time! These Noo York big-bugs is jes' yelpin' constant fer my polo ponies." "I'm glad." But there was a shadow now upon a countenance which a moment before had been beaming. Things were going wrong with him everything all at once.
