"Come on, now; it’s a case of ’Kamerad’ for yours." Braun did not move to comply with the demand. Gradually it dawned on them that the man was game. "Maryette!" he called; "where are you?" Smith said curiously: "What do you want with her, Braun?" "I want to speak to her." "Come over here, Maryette," said Glenn sullenly. The girl crept out of the shadows. Her face was ghastly.
But whilst they amused us they put the fear of the devil into Fritz, and whole parties of men ran forward, hands up, waving their handkerchiefs, and shouting "Kamerad," and gave themselves up as willing prisoners in our hands. The Tanks have been one of the big surprises and big successes of the war.
He was quite without arms, in proof of which he raised his open hands and slapped his sides and hips. As he did so a long piece of heavy chain, which was manacled to his wrist clanged and rattled. "Ach!" he said, shaking his head as if in agony. "Put your hands down. All right," said Tom. "Can you speak English?" "Kamerad," he repeated and shrugged his shoulders as if that were enough.
Sec they found a building that twenty-four hours before had been a German canteen. Above the entrance was the sign "KAMERAD, tritt' ein." The Salvation Army people stepped in and took possession, finding everything ready for their use. They even found a lard can full of lard and after a chemist had analyzed it to make sure it was not poisoned they fried doughnuts with it.
They looked pitifully at us as they passed us, wondering what it was all about, and so did we. We expected every minute it would be over; surely they had been punished enough. But the cruel race went on. In an hour they were begging for mercy, whimpering pitifully, as they gasped out the only German word they knew "Kamerad Kamerad" to the N.C.O., who drove them on.
The illustrated papers continued to picture it as a sort of glorified picnic where smiling young men lolled luxuriously in cosy dug-outs, reading their favourite paper. By curious coincidence, it generally happened to be the journal publishing the photograph. Occasionally, it appeared, they came across the enemy, who then put up both hands and shouted "Kamerad."
"Kamerad," he growled sullenly. "That's right," said Frank, "but just to make sure that you won't stick your knife into me when I'm not looking, I guess I'll take care of it. No, you needn't take the trouble of handing it to me," he continued, as he saw a vicious expression in his captive's eyes. "You just keep your hands stretched above your head and I'll find your knife myself.
Our plans had succeeded so well, however, that no supporting fire from the upper village came and the snipers in the forward part of the village seeing themselves abandoned, threw their guns and came rushing forward shouting "tovarish, tovarish," meaning the same as the German "kamerad."
But yesterday it came to my knowledge that it is because of your relations with Lennox that his engagement is broken." Take that, he mentally added and continued aloud: "I might not have believed the story, but I was told that Lennox admitted it." Take that, too, he mentally resumed. I shall be treated to tears in a minute and in no time it will be "Kamerad!"
As my guardian suggested, my first youth was over. I held up both my hands in token that I asked for grace. "Kamerad!" I begged pathetically. "Come, Dunny, let's be sociable. After all, you know, it's my last evening; and if you call me such names, you will be sorry when I am gone.
