520			_a"The Long Trick" by Bartimeus is a novel written in the early 20th century, specifically during the time of World War I. This book focuses on the lives of British Naval personnel, exploring themes of duty, camaraderie, and the emotional toll of war through the eyes of its characters, particularly Lieutenant-Commander Bunje Standish and his shipmates. The opening of the book introduces a lively scene at King's Cross station, depicting sailors returning from a period of leave, chattering excitedly as they prepare to head back to their ships. The atmosphere is dynamic and filled with a mix of humor and poignancy, especially as it highlights the farewells between sailors and their loved ones. As the story progresses, we meet Bunje Standish, who has recently married and is departing for duty, along with his friend Mouldy Jakes, whose fate is yet to unfold. This portion sets the tone for the novel, blending lighthearted moments with the sobering realities of naval life during wartime, establishing a backdrop for the relationships and events that will unfold.
