Academy Test: Name the story. Headmaster: You speak with someone elses voice, Baines. Who might that be? Brother: We are the Family of Blood. Headmaster: Mr. Smith said there had been deaths. Brother: Yes sir. And they were good sir. Headmaster: Well I warn you, the school is armed. Brother: All your little tin soldiers. But tell me sir, will they thank you? Headmaster: I dont understand. Brother: What do you know of history, sir? What do you know of next year? Headmaster: Youre not making sense, man Brother: 1914, sir. Because the Family has traveled far and wide looking for Mr. Smith, and oh the things we have seen. War is coming. In foreign fields, war of the whole wide world with all your boys falling down in the mud. Do you think they will thank the man who taught them it was glorious? Headmaster: Dont you forget, boy, I have been a soldier. I was in South Africa. I used my dead mates as sandbags. I fought with the butt of my rifle when the bullets ran out, and I would go back there tomorrow for King and country!
