Yes. Babcock is my first choice of the writers I know. I am not as familiar with the British writers.

Sounds like "The Major" from those stories on the back pages of Shooting Sportsman.

Researcher, I was just going to give the same answer you did when I saw you response. I think you are dead on. Since I have all the Shooting Sportsman mags from volume 1, issue 1, maybe I will do some research. Really miss those stories.

I don't think the Major would have lowered himself to labor for even ammo and whiskey!
He would have found an angle to con someone into providing them for free.

I bet you the quote is in one of Ed Muderlak's books, even if he did not say it himself

I always assumed people became writers because they were unable to do any sort of labor, not the other way around.

Speaking of writers, I recently read a quote wherein someone described a eunuch as a person who can tell you how to do it, but they can't actually do it themselves. I guess if you follow that line of reasoning, your average gentleman is a eunuch, eh?
