I was a little caught up at my swearing, just when all was going straight; and so was the missionary, I suppose, but he made believe to look out of the window, and thanked us. So we ran him up a bit of a meal. I was bound to let the old lady have a hand in it, to show off, so I deputised her to brew the tea. I don’t think I ever met such tea as she turned out.
Suddenly he made up his mind that a confession from the men would be worthless unless he had ear witnesses to substantiate it in court.

Some had no apparent defects, but there they lay, useful and useless, a monument to the entire absence of organisation in everything Russian. I had suffered a slight indisposition, so Major Browne deputised for me, and inspected the Russian and Czech guards of honour drawn up to welcome the troops on their arrival.
