They stood ensiled by summer; the great trees mounting guard. Helena threw a glance to right and left. "Well, then to keep you quiet sans préjudice!" She demurely offered her cheek.
"S.O.S." was signaled and "Stand to," and out we raced for the guns, sans shirt, sans everything, bumping into the trees on our way and falling in shell holes in the orchard. The gas they were putting over at this time was more dangerous than any I had yet experienced, it having a more direct effect on the lungs than any they had yet given us.
