honeymoon to delicately fried crъpes suzette. And lots of good
coffee from New Macedonia.

I said, "So, love. I assume that you have heard about all that I've
been up to?"

"Yes, the news has been full of it, and the new movie that your tank,
Agnieshka, put together, has been out for a week now. Good God,
what a bloody mess!"

"It was that. Nobody expected what we were going to run into. But
tell me about you. What's been happening? Your investments go
well?"

"Oh, yes, we're richer than ever," she said. "But for the last week,
I've mostly been working with your Gurkhas."

"My Gurkhas didn't start coming home until three days ago, and
they're not all here yet."

"But their wives and families and all of their friends who want to
enlist have been arriving in droves! If the statistical projections
have anything to do with reality, you will have an army of over a
hundred and twenty thousand men within the month. That's if none
of the women decide to sign up, too!"

"Hoy! Well, we need the troops, and maybe now they'll make me a
real general," I said.

"They'd damn well better! But finding a place for everyone has
been something of a problem. Half of the new ones are living in
that gold-plated castle that you built, but nobody wanted. The rest
are scattered all over the place."

"Well, you and our metal ladies can work it out. If you can't, talk to
Professor Cee, my Combat Control Computer. He's got more
electronic brains than anybody else I know of."

"Meaning that you don't want to get involved," she said.

"Right. The duty of a general is to look at the big picture, and let the
details be handled by staff officers like my loving wife. Right now,
the big picture involves rest and recuperation for the battalion, and
most especially for the commanding officer, which obviously
necessitates going back to bed with you!"

"Go to bed if you want to, but do it alone. Right now, this staff
officer has work to do."

"Delegate it!" I shouted, as she left the room.
