		Brinton, 21st Lancers], was despatched with the news to the Sirdar.

		In fact, the Lancers walked away from their contract with House Kurita for just such an occurrence—which hurt their reputation not at all with the other Great Houses, though it will likely preclude them from ever being classified as fanatically loyal troops.
