I did give them a mince pie and a collar of brawn and some wine for their breakfast, and were very merry, and sent for Mr. Adamson's neighbour to drink Mr. Shepley's health.
A young officer invited the lads to spend the night in his quarters, and they accepted gratefully. They followed General Adamson's injunction and turned in early. They were very tired, and they were asleep the moment they hit their cots. It seemed to Hal that he had just closed his eyes when he was aroused by the sound of a bugle.
