Not a man fell out of any of the four companies.
"Was any man in B Company up and moving about the squad room at or about two o'clock this morning?" was Captain Cortland's next question. "If so, fall out."
Private Hal Overton quickly left his place in the ranks.

Hal stepped forward, halting six paces from his company commander and saluting.
"You were up and about in the squad room at that time, Private Overton?"
"Yes, sir."
"Did you leave the squad room?"
"No, sir."
"You are positive of that?"
