With a glance of significance, Traverse bowed to Herbert and walked off, while the sentinel took his place. Herbert saw no more of Traverse that day.
Early the next morning he went to the tent of Captain Zuten and requested to see Private Traverse Rocke, in whom, he said, he felt a warm interest. The answer of Colonel Le Noir's tool confirmed Herbert's worse suspicions. Touching his cap with an air of exaggerated deference, he said: "As you think so much of the young fellow, Major, I am very sorry to inform you, sir, that he is under arrest."
This man, Captain Zuten, was a vulgar upstart thrown into his command by the turbulence of war, as the scum is cast up to the surface by the boiling of the cauldron.
To which charge the prisoner, in a firm voice, replied: "Not guilty of wilful neglect of duty, though found sleeping upon my post." The Judge Advocate then cautioned all witnesses to withdraw from the court and come only as they were called. They withdrew, and he then arranged some preliminaries of the examination, and called in Captain Zuten, of the Regiment of Infantry.
