My laager of barrels was intact, but through a gap I had left I could see the two men sitting on the two cases I had provided for them. A lantern was set between them, and Henriques was drinking out of a metal flask. He took something I could not see what out of his pocket, and held it before his companion. 'Spoils of war, he said.
