He was ordering trained, grown men, and he knew it and they knew it. The orders ripped out, like the crack of a drover's whip. "Fall in, now, properly! 'Tshun! Right dress!

"You two men who carried old Stinkijink before, pick him up again!" shouted Brown. "Let him feel the bayonet if he makes a noise, but carry him gently as though you loved him. The rest 'Tshun! Form two-deep on the center close order, march. Ri' dress. Eyes front. Ri' turn. By the left quick march."

'Tshun eyes right ri' dress. Eyes front. Ri' turn. By the left quick march! Silence, now! Left! Left! Left!"
