Book synopsis

Excerpt from Mulvaney Stories An' when the war began, we chased the bold Afghan, An' we made the bloomin' Ghazi for to flee, boys O! An' we marched into Kabul, and we tuk the Balar 'Issar, An' we taught 'em to respec' the British Soldier. Barrack Room Ballad. Mulvaney, Ortheris and Learoyd are privates in B Company of a line regiment, and personal friends of mine. Collectively, I think, but am not certain, they are the worst men in the regiment so far as genial blackguardism goes. They told me this story, the other day, in the Umballa refreshment-room while we were waiting for an up-train. I supplied the beer. The tale was cheap at a gallon and a half. Of course you know Lord Benira Trig. Pie is a duke, or an earl, or something unofficial; also a peer; also a globe-trotter. On all three counts, as Ortheris says, "'e didn't deserve no consideration." He was out here for three months collecting materials for a book on "Our Eastern Impedimenta," and quartering himself upon everybody, like a Cossack in evening-dress.
