Major Felter's slightly improved impression of Lieutenant Namet immediately worsened as he sternly ordered, "Food is to be given to the wounded first."
Namet thought the major was embarrassed and said, "You can rest assured, no one will know, I..."

Felter watched Lieutenant Namet's back, as his empty stomach inconveniently began to rumble.
