I am sure you would make a splendid soldier. Henry's eyes beamed. Somehow he had never thought of that. At the Charterhouse he had been laughed at for his love of books, and called the 'Phlos. short for 'Philosopher' by the boys.
As a boy he was rather serious and thoughtful, so that his school fellows used to call him "Old Phlos," a nickname for Old Philosopher. And yet he loved boyish sports, and never was behind any of his companions in courage and daring. He was not the first scholar in his class, but he was a great reader and took intense delight in stories of war and descriptions of battles.
Word came that Mwanga had sent 3 soldiers, but what news they bring they will not yet let me know. Much comforted by 28th Psalm. He was nicknamed "Phlos" short for philosopher even when at school. Havelock and a few companions at Charterhouse met together for devotion, and of course came in for a large amount of jeering from some of the other boys.
