"Pretty awful."
"Billy—we must get him back."
"I—I don't know about that. He isn't much good, is he? I think we'd better let him go."
"Don't you see how awful it'll be for the Corps?"
"The Corps? Does that matter? McClane would take us all on to-morrow."
"I mean for us. You and me and Gwinnie. He's our Corps, and we're it."
"Sharlie—with the Germans coming into Ghent do you honestly believe anybody'll remember what he did or didn't do?"
"Yes. We're going to stick on with the Belgian Army. It'll be remembered against us. Besides, it'll kill his father."
"He'll do that any way. He's rotten through and through."
"No. He was splendid in the beginning. He might be splendid some day again. But if we let him go off and do this he's done for."
