The cadets who were present hastened to their barracks and, joined by their comrades, armed themselves, and with fixed bayonets came streaming at double-quick toward the town. They were met at the end of Main street by their professors, conspicuous among whom was Colonel Colston on horseback.
This would give the prisoners time to get a brief but much needed rest after their long and miserable journey from Perm, penned up like sheep in iron-barred cattle trucks, and it would leave the drowsiest part of the night, from four o'clock to sunrise, for the hazardous work in hand. "That is a pretty girl you have there, captain," said Colston, as the officer returned to the sitting-room.

Colston, I am so sorry you have taken us by surprise; our house is being cleaned; pray walk upstairs but oh dear, now I recollect the drawing-room is also turned out; what WILL you do, and the smell of the smoke, too!"
