'The censoring here has become such an unpleasant occasion as almost to take away the joy of receiving letters — chiefest of guard-room amenities. The new officer brings up another with him to share the fun — reads carefully and slowly through every word, making obnoxious little noises or verbal comments and then passes it on to his colleague — a side-light on the phrase "an officer and a gentleman". He makes a sheep and goat pile. The latter he slowly and wrathfully tears up into little pieces.'
