Can anybody tell me who is pleading before the Second Division just now?

Old Windlass. He's good for three quarters of an hour at least, and then the judges have to give their opinions.

I'm devilish glad to hear it. I think I shall bolt. This seems a fine afternoon. Who's for Musselburgh?

Who is the unfortunate purchaser?

I'm delighted to hear it, old fellow! We have been wanting you for two years back in the corps. 'Gad! won't we have fun when we go into quarters. I say, M'Whirter--why don't you become a yeoman?
