Flashman and the Knights of the Sky Quotes

“Why he thought I needed to be up so early was also beyond me but then no one, as I believe I may have mentioned, has ever satisfactorily explained the ritual of reveille in the middle of the night when it must be plain to all and sundry that the natives weren’t revolting and the enemy were the other side of the channel. We weren’t in Ireland for God’s sake.”
― Paul Moore, Flashman and the Knights of the Sky
