The house has been full of officers from the "first days" and she thinks one of them was the "Kronprinz" from his photograph and because his brother-officers always addressed him as Excellency.

I suppose Eileen is coming back." "She comes on Monday." "I expect he knows it." "Perhaps he does. Have you finished, Shawn? Another cup of tea? No? I want to talk to you, dear.
I took a stroll round my brother-officers' tents; paid my devoirs to my commanding-officer, which I never failed to do once a day, as a duty, and a respect due to his rank.
