Of late the troop has expected the outmaster to do all while the boys sit back and take all the credit, and in consideration of this, I think I am not taking any liberties which are not my own when T refuse to give up my time to them until they promise to do their share and make a little effort to uphold me in their meetings and elsewhere.
