With Love and Hisses
About With Love and Hisses
Private Cuthbert Hope cannot get through a day without maddening Sergeant Banner, who answers to Captain Bustle. On the train, Bustle steps off to wave at women and misses the car, then finds Banner eating the captain's lunch. Hope, stuck with a soldier's garlic and Limburger sandwich, flips it and hits Bustle in the face. On a hot march the squad strips for a swim. Banner orders Hope to stay with the uniforms.
