Jack having despatched this agreeable meal with a traveller's appetite, proceeded to unfold his plans to me as follows: There resided somewhere near Cheltenham, in what direction he did not absolutely know, an old East India colonel, who had returned from a long career of successful staff-duties and government contracts, with the moderate fortune of two hundred thousand.
The right to the distinction of exercising staff-duties is, of course, only to be gained by stout competitorship in the Austrian service; but favour may do something for a young man even in that rigorous school of Arms. He had to turn to Brescia on his way, and calculated that if luck should put good horses under him, he would enter Verona gates about sunset.

The two classes have been so thoroughly intermingled, on staff-duties and in the field, so many regular officers now hold in the volunteer service a rank higher than their permanent standing, the whole previous military experience of most regulars was so trifling, compared with that which they and the volunteers have now shared in common, and so many young men have lately been appointed to commissions, in both branches, not only without a West-Point education, but with almost none at all, that it really cannot be said that there is much feeling of conscious separation left.
