"The Thin Line," Part A
_(Author's Note: This story was originally published in serial format. The "\*\*\*\*\*" designation shows where the original episodic breaks were located.)_ \*\*\*\*\* It was not difficult to discern that my drill instructor was peeved at me....
"The Thin Line," Part GG
\*\*\*\*\* Morning roll-call was read off for Thorn Platoon. Remarkably, with the obvious exceptions of Lt. Kedgeay and Sgt. Crater, attendance was consistently very good. Some of this may have been a matter of morale, as the payment the squaddies...
"The Thin Line," Part B
\*\*\*\*\* If you discount the fact that I was, by some quirk of fate, assigned to latrine duty for the next seven days, there seemed to be few repercussions from the events of that night. This in spite of the fact that I took the risk of using...
"The Thin Line," Part C
\*\*\*\*\* I sat down while the Marshal's clerk fluttered to his seat. He selected a reed and sharpened it, while winking at me. "Don't use quills, lad. Might be someone I know." I nodded, and he must have seen the expression on my face. ...

"The Thin Line," Part S
\*\*\*\*\* What **do** you say to a feral member of your own species? This matter of etiquette came up the morning after the somewhat abortive party held by Lord Twelveoaks. Lt. Rutter had taken me out of a formal classroom setting, and we...
"The Thin Line," Part J
\*\*\*\*\* I returned to Chitterleigh's bungalow from the squirrel-femme's residence to find that he was out, probably on some kind of duty. Even an A.D.C. has duties, it would appear. So, for that matter, do their servants. One of my colleagues...
"The Thin Line," Part DD
\*\*\*\*\* The weather cleared up the next day, so after breakfast for the platoon (potato flour cakes) and a few apples and morning service for me, most of us went out on a "yomp" in the area around Mossford. I did leave behind a few squaddies to...
"The Thin Line," Part I
\*\*\*\*\* If Lieutenant Chitterleigh noticed that I had spent a completely sleepless night, he was too polite to mention it. Very unusual behaviour for an officer toward a private, but then again, I had seen much unusual behaviour from officers...
"The Thin Line," Part R
\*\*\*\*\* I unburdened myself the next day to Sergeant Wing, who had managed to get me out of class for an hour. The sparrow listened to me in silence, slowly nodding. "Aye, lad, it's a rum 'do to find out wot yer got in th' Hall, but look...
"The Thin Line," Part MM
\*\*\*\*\* Standing amidst the results of an armed clash is rarely the kind of circumstance which inspires conversation. Or even somewhat rational thought. Meadow merely folded her arms and looked at me bemusedly as I checked over our recently...
"The Thin Line," Part NN
\*\*\*\*\* Each fur has their own individual way of preparing for an important operation. In the case of Aethelwulf, he was impassively sorting, counting, resorting and piling his lead ammunition. Meadow carefully checked her equipment. I...
