[first lines]
Harry Flashman:
So, the last thing I have to tell you young fellows is this: play up and play the game, honor your queen and country, mind what your masters tell you, say your prayers each night, keep your minds and your bodies clean, take a cold bath each day, and you'll find you can always look the world in the eye like an English gentleman.
[audience members concurs, muttering "Here, here"]
Harry Flashman:
Now my lads, I'm just a simple soldier.
[Audience members murmer objections and so does the headmaster]
Harry Flashman:
Yes, I am though. But I tell you if you follow these rules, then when the last roll call comes, you'll be able to go up before the great headmaster with a clean, British conscience and say, "Well sir, I tried to do my duty", and I think, I think, you'll find that's good enough for him.
[applause and standing ovation from the audience]
