And so ended Svejk's Budejovice anabasis. It is certain that if
 Svejk had been granted liberty of movement he would have got to

 was they who brought Svejk to his place of duty, this is nothing but
 a mistake. With Svejk energy and irresistible desire to fight, the
 authorities action was like throwing a spanner into the works.
