There's lots of bad men in the army, Henry.

The army makes 'em wild, and they like nothing better than the job of leading off a young feller like you, as ain't never been away from home much and has allus had a mother, an' a-learning 'em to drink and swear.

Keep clear of them folks, Henry.

I don't want yeh to ever do anything, Henry, that yeh would be 'shamed to let me know about.

Jest think as if I was a-watchin' yeh.
