It's an entertainingly desperate take on the passage tinx_r quotes below, in which Bunter is described as thinking about a racehorse in order not to think about Peter (let us ignore the logic fail of why he needs to stop thinking about Peter if it's not on his mind in the first place, but there you go).
I'd not connected the giving orders and obey bit, but that's a good point. Harriet's reduced to a footsoldier, whilst Bunter is the comrade-in-arms. I do like that his victory is marked by the fact that he is able to hide it even more than usual even whilst mentally punching the air and shouting "Me! Me! Me!". Equilibrium restored.
