I walked out and indeed, the rain had stopped!
God, sometimes, listen to Havildar Majors!

Sir,
Sgt-Majs are the craftiest of animals. I remember when my Bde Col came down to my sqn and said, this has to be done and done now. My SSM replied, it's already been taken care of.
I was stunned but had the sense to shut up. After I asked my SSM, "When did we do that?"
"We didn't and we won't but he won't know about it."
