Had it been any cadet officer making an inspection as was likely to happen at any minute of the waking day he would have come straight into the room. And any other cadet, after knocking, would have followed this by opening the door and stepping inside. Rap-rap! sounded again. "Oh, come in," called Dick. The door opened. Bert Dodge, dressed in the height of the prevailing fashion, looked inside.
The whirring rap-rap of machine guns at present unlocated did not stop them, and as our machine-gun sections, ever on the alert to keep down rival automatic guns, found out and sprayed the nests, the enemy was seen to be anxious about his line of retreat.
Walton chanced to reach the long, low-roofed house, and "rap-rap" went his vigorous knuckles against green door number one. "Who's there?" sang out a boyish voice within. "Tush, tush, Tony!
