Oh, of course, if I had been a big person, a person with a real mind—if I had had anything exceptional about me—I would have stepped out. But I'm nothing but the most ordinary sort of girl.

It's army life. To an army man a girl is a girl, and what they mean by a girl has nothing to do with being ...
