Excerpt: ...the report of the German infantry in the woods. But when they entered the room in which sat the British general who was responsible for the retreat, as they guessed, they saw a quiet-faced man with smiling eyes, who listened attentively to the reports of the officers who were constantly hurrying up to him, spoke a word or two in answer, and turned, imperturbably, to the next comer. Their guide left them near the door. Wait a minute here, he said. I''ll tell the General your story. But he''ll want to speak to you himself. He always does. Frank watched the British leader closely as he turned to the major, who now went up to him. If the news moved him, he gave no sign Pg 119 of his emotion. Instead he nodded quickly, once or twice; then he looked over toward Frank and Henri. The major turned to them, beckoning, and they went up. General Smith-Derrien was sitting at a table. Before him was an ordnance map of the section covered by his operations. Now tell me exactly what happened, as quickly as you can, he said.
