One of the soldiers has brought us half a dozen bottles of good wine three bottles of red and three of white but the larder remains empty. I do not know exactly what a larder is; but if it is as empty as I am at the present moment it must remind itself of a haunted house. Eleven-forty. A big van full of wounded Germans has arrived.

Under the station eaves, and waiting to be taken aboard the almost-due eleven-forty express, several crates and parcels were grouped. One crate was the scene of much the same sort of escape-drama that Lass had just enacted.
