Many of the men less fortunate than the Barclays and Duburgs had had nothing to eat upon starting and, when the arms were piled, there was a general dispersal through the village, in search of provisions.
The sergeant of the first company, knowing the relationship and friendship of the young Barclays and Duburgs, had promised them that when practicable he would always quarter them together. Upon the present occasion, the four were handed over to a gentleman whose house was a short distance outside the town.
Protestants might not approve of many things in the Catholic Church; but that could be no reason, whatever, against a Protestant taking part in a solemn prayer to God, wherever that prayer might be offered up. The young Duburgs were unaffectedly glad that the time for their departure had come, for the month that had passed had been a most unpleasant one to them.
A man has offered to supply them, at contract prices; but any who prefer it can have it made by their own tailor. "Now, good night, boys." "Vive les franc tireurs du Dijon!" "Vive la France!" and, with a cheer, the men separated. The next morning the corps met, and were divided into companies. The division was alphabetical, and the young Barclays and Duburgs were all in the first company.
The Duburgs have been mysterious, and would say nothing. The sergeant here knew nothing about it, except that our lieutenant told him that you had leave; and Irish Tim has been hanging about all day, as restless as a cow that has lost its calf." "We have been down to Saverne," Ralph said. There was a general exclamation of astonishment.
There was no time for words, however; for Major Tempe's order came, sharp and decisive: "You the Barclays, you also the Duburgs, sling your arms, and go assist to drive in the cattle. Quick, lose no time. "You have done well. I am content with you, my boys."
