"If you'll please all wait a few minutes," I begged earnestly, "I'll go out and make inquiries. Sir Blaydon, take my place in that rubber of bridge there's a good fellow. I'll have the restaurant searched too. Don't mind if I am away a few minutes." I hurried out. As soon as the door of the private room was closed I made for the entrance of the restaurant as fast as I could sprint.
The band still remained with the Battalion and after the Armistice was granted permission to play on the Joan of Arc statue, being the first British band to do so. They also had the unique experience of playing "Blaydon Races" in Rouen Cathedral. About the middle of October came rumours of the splitting up of the Cadres, and on the 18th October Lieut.-Col.

He smiled weakly and scratched his chin.
We pulled aside a table and I almost collided with one of my most distinguished guests Sir Blaydon Harrison, K.C.B. Sir Blaydon also, with an eyeglass in his eye, was moving discontentedly backward and forward, kicking the carpet. "Silly thing!" he observed as he glanced up for a moment.
