QM

The great foe of humanity was stored in a tobacco-house, and the Q.M. slept three nights between the barrels.

"I am obliged to keep very dark, my dear Q.M.," Bertram said at last, still dwelling on the inconvenience to himself.

Doesn't seem to have made the beef any tenderer, the supplies come up any quicker, the Q.M.'s clothing get issued any quicker?

The inventory did not balance, and two Q.M. privates were trying, profanely and without success, to find the discrepancy.

Valises of course were left behind with all 'spare parts' in the Q.M.'s stores.
