What you're stamping it into is the stuff that holds value, the GOLD, and even if it is *not* stamped, is I think what he was getting at. That people *without* rank are actually just as valuable as people *with* rank.

Bertie is always making hilarious remarks that cannot be put into such a form, largely because the stories are all presented as being written him, in the first person singular. He makes remarks such as "Sir Roderick gave him a look like that of a startled turbot". <br /><br />Do read them - they are one of life's great joys.Graham Boothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12534041280498436603noreply@blogger.com
