Oswin has a routine. A routine is good - it keeps her from having to think too much, and right now, thinking too much is a problem.

Involved tea. The most elaborate, time-consuming tea making she can devise.
Bother.

"Conscription... is when countries require compulsory military service for men of a certain age," the boy says, adjusting his glasses again.

They teach you how to fire guns, and maintain a front line, and in general prepare you to be ready in case a war breaks out."

Sorry Autor, but you're being hugged. And by the way, the wagon is sinking
"No."

He wonders if he should continue lying to her. If he should tell her everything. But that might make her worry more, and he's planning to take care of the situation. There's no need to make her worry.
"You sunk the wagon."
