The Man with the Bifocals on a War Train
On a crowded train a doctor named Peck speaks to Corbett about war and morality. He compares wartime sacrifice to civilian comfort and recalls a journalist accompanying a condemned prisoner, underscoring the divide between home front ease and frontline hardship. The scene shifts to a visiting officer and a young woman with a captain, introducing Hastings family dynamics.
