The Germans! There are Uhlans everywhere along the roads; and I expect the main body isn’t far behind.
The Secretary
Impossible! We’ve heard nothing of that here; but of course the communications have all been cut.
Jean Gilson
Where’s the Burgomaster?
The Secretary
I’m waiting for him. He’s in one of the glass-houses. The storm last night seems to have done some damage. He’ll be here in a minute: the man has gone to find him. Would you like to speak to him?
Jean Gilson
I’ve a message from the Burgomaster of Winkel, advising him to be very careful and, above all, to see that no arms are found in the town.
The Secretary
