dbp:quote
  • One day he had to lay before the Old Man details of two complex medical schemes. Blamey gave the papers a cursory glance, and initialled each set without asking a question. Burston exclaimed in spontaneous surprise at this unhesitating acceptance of important proposals. "How long have you known me now, Ginger?" Blamey asked. Burston told him. "Well, surely you have formed a better estimate of me than that!" Blamey said. "You are my technical advisor on medical problems. You don't think that I'd be stupid enough to join issue with you on your own ground, do you? I assume before you come to me with things like these that you have given them every thought." (en)
