"Daulch, Hattin and Aubek are at the front," he said, and began humming to himself. "At the front?" demanded Rene, sitting upright suddenly. "At the front, you say? When did they leave for the front?" "This evening," answered Jeremy. You couldn't see his face in the dark, but I think he was chuckling. "Strange!" said the banker.
They were the traitors Daulch, Hattin and Aubek. Grim's pistol was in his right hand and had been used. There had been a first-class fight, all over in two minutes; for the traitors hadn't arrived on the scene without assistants. Unfortunately for them, Hadad had turned up at the same moment with his loyalists.
I expected to see the three staff officers Daulch, Hattin and Aubek arrested there and then; but nothing happened, except that Feisul suddenly drove away with Mabel and Grim in the same car with him. There followed a rush for the other cars, and the whole line started forward, Jeremy jumping in as our car passed the porch.
He is a hypocrite, I tell you one of those praters about righteousness who won't understand that the church and the mosque are the places for that sort of thing. Eh? You follow me? But tell me, what has been done to Daulch, Hattin and Aubek? Were they backed against a wall and shot? Who betrayed them? Too bad that such a plan should fail, for it was perfect."
He had intended to lead a raid in person, swooping down the French flank to their rear; but the three staff traitors, Daulch, Hattin and Aubck, sent forward the previous evening to place the division and hold it ready, had simply tipped the French off to the whole plan and at the critical moment of Feisul's arrival on the scene had ordered the sauve-qui-peut.
