"In naval warfare", said John, quoting a well known book, "Two things are important; to know exactly what you want to do and to do it in the manner that your enemy least expects."

"Well, said Titty, "What is it we want to do?"

SA, Chapter XVII - "A Fair Wind", page 175 in recent Cape editions.

Some of us (see further down) havce been trying to identify the "well known book".
