"You've seen nobody else?"
"Nobody."
"Heard nothing?"
"Not a sound. They must have gone over the Swiss wire without interference, mon Capitaine."
"You sometimes talk across with the Swiss sentinels?"
"Oh, yes, if I'm in that humour. You know, mon Capitaine, that they're like the Boche, only tame."
"Not all."
"No, not all. But in a wolf-pack who can excuse sheepdogs? A Boche is always a Boche."
"All the same, when the Swiss sentry passes, speak to him and hold him while I get my ladder."
"At your orders, Captain."
