‘If you think you were tortured, Colonel Flashman,’ says he, poker-faced. ‘then I congratulate you on your ignorance.’ He put down his cup. ‘I find this conversation tedious. ‘If you will excuse me,’ and he turned away.
‘Oh, sorry if you’re bored,’ says I. ‘I was forgetting – you probably haven’t cut a throat or burned a peasant in a week.’
Flashman in the Great Game, p.46, Pan edition, 4th printing, 1979.
