By day, on the march, she wears pith helmet, riding breeches, puttees; in the evening, has her boudoir tent pitched, changes to a silk negligee...

Finally he delivered a peroration in which he quite bluntly demanded co-operation from everyone. As expected, the ensuing vote was little short of a triumph: 413 for; 71 against; and only an odd 100 abstentions...
