"The old Black Forest's down that w'y." "It's just north of Alsice," Freddie said. "A pair o' wire nippers and a bit o' French " "Shh," cautioned Freddie. "We m'y be ible to s'y 'Owdy' to General 'Aig yet." "Shh! We aren't even there yet." Tom listened eagerly to this talk and thought much about it afterward. For one whole year he had longed to get into the war.
There is a dream that binds your mind as you cross the forest; it is like an imitation of eternity, so that, as you pass into the forest's shade, time passes from before you, and, as you pass out of it, you seem to have lived a thousand quiet and utterly forgotten lives.

If Mr Forest's letter which I carried to my uncle contained any hint intended to my disadvantage, it certainly fell dead on his mind; for he treated me with a consideration and respect which at once charmed and humbled me. One day as we were walking together over the fields, I told him the whole story of the loss of the weapon at Moldwarp Hall.
