Scene II.--_The other side of the wood. Time, two minutes later._

_Enter_ Second-Lieutenant Brown _at the double with_ Second-Lieutenant

Wood's _platoon. He hurriedly gets it to work at Visual Training._

_Enter_ General, _with suite as before. The platoon carries on, taking

no notice._ Second-Lieutenant Brown _comes to attention and salutes.

The_ General _praises the appearance of the men and explains how Visual

Training was taught before the Crimean War. The_ Adjutant _suddenly

recognises_ Private Hogg _and develops a nasty cough._

_The General (to C.O. as they move away)._ But do you think, Colonel,

that either of those smart young officers of yours would keep their

heads in a sudden emergency?

_The_ Adjutant _restrains a natural desire to wink at the_

Sergeant-Major.

Curtain.
