The news was doubly unwelcome, because, in the first place, it is always unpleasant to face the prospect of trenches of any kind; and secondly, to take over strange trenches in the dead of a winter night is an experience which borders upon nightmare the hot-lobster-and-toasted-cheese variety. The opening stages of this enterprise are almost ritualistic in their formality.
