The great game explained



‘Inshallah!’ cries he, grinning all over his evil face. ‘It is the great game! To lie low, and watch and listen and wait, and conspire with the other palitikal sahibs of the Sirkar, until the time is ripe – and then go against these evil subverters in a secret razzia!*’

*An attack on unbelievers.

Flashman in the Great Game, p.110, Pan edition, 4th printing, 1979.
