When I came up some of the men turned round to look at me.
"Here's the sergeant!"
"Didn't expect to see you again!"
"Why not?"
"Thought you must be dead!"
"Oh, rot!"
Did I redden. Bouguet whispered to me:
"You must keep your eyes open. Some of 'em try to do a bunk on the Q.T.!"
I did not feel quite sure that he was not pulling my leg. Henriot bellowed:
"Yes, yes. Keep it up. Fire away!"
