Bills who have suddenly learnt to call a coat a blouse. Taking things
as they find them. Vaguely understanding. Caring less. Grumbling by
custom. Cheerful by nature. Ever anxious to be where they are not.
Ever anxious to be somewhere else when they get there. Without thought
of sacrifice. Who have left the flag-waving to those at home. Who serve
as a matter of course.
