"I'll stand guard forward here, and, if you hear me cough, strike for cover. I'll explain the tray matter if it's found." He simply said, "Thank you, sir," and I went forward.
She sat with the biggest bread tray upon her well cushioned knees, in the midst of the peelers, who as they peeled, dropped their peaches into the tray.
