Книга дельная. Без воды, приводятся реальные кейсы и способы их разрешения. Много практичных полезных советов и методик. Кое-что уже испробовала в дел...

Doctor
What?
[There is a slight pause while both men stare at him.
Dick
Is this one of your little jokes, Alec?
Alec
You have often observed that I joke with difficulty.
Doctor
But what's wrong now?
Alec
You'll neither of you sleep in your beds to-night. Another sell for the mosquitoes, isn't it? I propose to break up the camp and start marching as soon as the moon goes down.
Dick
I say, it's a bit thick after a day like this. We're all so done up that we shan't be able to go a mile.
Alec
Nonsense, you will have had two hours' rest.
Doctor
But some of those fellows who are wounded can't possibly be moved.
Alec
They must!
Doctor
I won't answer for their lives.
Alec
We must take the risk. Our only chance is to make a bold dash for it, and we can't leave the wounded here.
Dick
I suppose there's going to be a deuce of a row?
Alec
[Grimly.] There is.
Dick
Your companions seldom have a chance to complain of the monotony of their existence, Alec. What are you going to do now?
Alec
At this moment, I'm going to fill my pipe.
[There is a pause while Alec fills and lights his pipe.
Dick
I gather from the general amiability of your demeanour that we're in a rather tight place?
Alec
Tighter than any of your patent-leather boots, my friend.
Dick
[Gravely.] Have we any chance of getting through, old man?
Alec
[Lightly.] Oh, I don't know. There's always a chance.
Dick
Don't grin at me in that irritating fashion.
Alec
You must wish you were treading the light fantastic toe in a London ball-room, Dick.
Dick
Frankly I do… I suppose we're going to fight again?
Alec
Like Kilkenny cats.
Dick
[Briskly.] Well, at all events that's some comfort. If I am going to be done out of my night's rest, I should like to take it out of some one.
