He wished he could ever get David to talk about his profession, and wondered what he looked like on a concert platform, playing his violin. The following night, Claude was sent back to Division Head-quarters at Q with information the Colonel did not care to commit to paper. He set off at ten o'clock, with Sergeant Hicks for escort.
