"We did," smiled Earl. "We stopped for you all right, but you'd gone and fainted and then you went to sleep and we thought we'd better not wait."
"Did you make your report?" asked Leon eagerly. He was now sitting up in bed and had almost forgotten his slightly wounded arm; in fact he would have been entirely unconscious of it had it not been for the fact that it was bandaged.
"We certainly did," said Jacques. "Major Villier seemed very much pleased with what we had done and he said he would see to it that we were mentioned at headquarters."
"Were they worried about us at all?"
"They were a little; they had expected us back sooner than we actually did arrive."
"What did the major think of our blowing up that train?"
"It seemed to please him greatly," said Jacques. "In fact he was almost as pleased about that as he was about our having delivered the dispatches safely at Flambeau."
"I should think he'd been more glad about the train than the dispatches," exclaimed Leon.
"We don't know what they were," Jacques reminded him. "Evidently they were even more important than blowing up a munition-train."
"At any rate I'm glad Major Villier approved of what we did."
