Retreat is absolutely forbidden in the Japanese Army, but this is not so with foreign armies. They retreat whenever they are at a disadvantage in battle. . . . This is no way of fighting! Our lives, from the very beginning, are given up for His Majesty!" (Elsewhere Lieut-General Araki has said that a Japanese officer, in extraordinary circumstances, may command his men to "advance" in a rearward direction...

Yes, "Heaviside Calculus" would be a much more fanciful subject than "Transmission of Heat," lectures being what they are, and there would be no temptation to introduce Bundling, and then "Let's Turn Out the Lights and Go to Sleep." But once in his retreat, the Vagabond reached again for the flagon, and discovered that, best of all, he could project himself into the thoughts of his tormentor, the Editor.
