In spite of his tender years "Business" had developed a tendency for finance that bespoke a true captain of industry.
The friend, whose regiment number we had recognised, and stopped to see, came up from behind and touched me on the shoulder. "Well, of all things! What on earth are you doing here?" We explained our mission, and then inquired about mutual acquaintances. "Pistre? Why he's with the munitions in the 12xth. We'll go over and see him. It's not far.
We found Pistre making a careful toilet with the aid of a tin pail full of water. "This is a surprise, on my soul!" We hastened to give him news of his family and friends. Presently he turned towards Nourrigat. "How about your regiment? Stationary?" "I fancy so. We were pretty well thinned out. We're waiting for reinforcements." "What's become of Chenu, and Morlet and Panard?"
