"If you ask me," said Bertie Oakes, propping himself up in an elegant attitude against a pillar of the Club verandah, "it's my belief that there's going to be a bust-up." "Nobody did ask you," observed Tommy rudely. He generally was rude nowadays, and had been haled before a subalterns' court-martial only the previous evening for that very reason.
