"Where are you going?"
"Fort Souville——"
"What are you doing?"
"We are picking up the wounded of the Second Army. We must go quick——"[24]

"No, time is blood."
"I will give you one of my men who will accompany you——Thiébaut, take these gentlemen to Fort Souville, by the Etain road——"
"Thank you!"
"One second! I wish I could talk English so that I could commend you for what you are doing. Then, you Americans have crossed the ocean to mix in this hell and to succor our wounded——Wait! You are a fine type, and I am proud to grasp your hand! Good luck!"
