"Clear the way, there!" he cried. Then, wheeling and facing his command, his voice rang out, clear as a bugle; "A r m s, 'port! Double-time, march! Ch ar ge, bayonets! Hurrah! Give 'em a yell, boys, and you can do it," added the colonel.

Anything in the world to keep your clothes from smelling of fish-oil, so you double-time back and get her the soap, and then she gives the kids a bath, and that's the end of your soap.
