He had hardly spoken when H descried some lights not very far ahead, and in less than ten minutes we came alongside a good-sized hut, which turned out to be the welcome wine-shop the driver had promised us. Here was a roof anyhow, so we entered, hoping for supper and beds in the wayside inn.
Unless he were crazed, it must have been so, for there was absolutely nothing to be gained, but everything to be imperilled, by war.
