Produktbeschreibung
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.
