oh no

Crucially, Levick becomes Campbell’s confidant. Campbell is a leader in that he makes well-considered decisions, but he is not a leader who inspires, not a person given to emotion, and certainly not one to reach out to the men. Even within the confines of the most wretched living conditions imaginable, he still maintains naval disciplines, including booking Browning for misconduct for turning out late from his sleeping bag to cook the meal.

Levick is able to engage Campbell in a way that the others cannot. He and Campbell spend long hours in the darkness discussing in great detail the various motorbike tours they will undertake when getting back to civilization. This inevitably involves “dining sumptuously at the various inns on the way,” where they discuss ordering the meals in “the most minute particulars, wine and all.”
