Edward's command is at Rouen, or "somewhere in France", we're supposed to say. Bertram tells me you lost a window during the last raid? Are you going to the Sackvilles? I thought I might. It's also to tell the French, best shut up about the single command. No, no votes for you I'm afraid. It's going to be for married women over 30. It's a serious problem on the whole front. Horses decimated by pink-eye. You should put that fellow, Hotchkiss, in charge of the horse lines. The warhorse needs to be hardened. Mollycoddling will ruin him. Hotchkiss is the man you need in France. Hotchkiss? You'll find him in Horse World, advertising embrocation. "Get hold of Hotchkiss!" The Comet will back you.爱德华要去鲁昂指挥作战。不过我们该说"法国某地"。伯特伦说上次空袭震坏了你家一扇窗。你要去萨克维尔吗？或许吧。这也是告诉法国人..别妄想什么单方指挥了。不，你没有投票权，必须是三十岁以上的已婚妇女。这是整个前线的大问题。战马因感染红眼病而死。你该让那个叫霍奇基斯的家伙来管战马。对战马不能心软，骄纵有害无利。霍奇基斯才是该派去法国的人才。霍奇基斯？你可以在《养马大全》上找到他，卖涂擦剂的。霍奇基斯出手，万事不愁。《彗星》会支持你的观点。
