从未发生过这样的私人狂喜或繁华的饮酒和性狂欢。如果雷德尔将军或佩克姆将军曾经表现出对与他一起参加狂欢的兴趣，但肯定不会浪费他的时间和精力，除非他的时间和精力使美丽的女人都不会浪费他的时间，否则他们可能会发生这种情况。
(No such private nights of ecstasy or hushed-up drinking and sex orgies ever occurred. They might have occurred if either General Dreedle or General Peckem had once evinced an interest in taking part in orgies with him, but neither ever did, and the colonel was certainly not going to waste his time and energy making love to beautiful women unless there was something in it for him.)
