Though we have no official orders to do this we have taken it on ourselves, for we now know for certain that the Uhlans have surrounded the village and are awaiting daylight to take possession. They are probably bivouacking on the heights in your park." Then the old peasant woman had not lied! Those were really Uhlans she had seen in the bois de la Mazure.
