RED CROSS AND IRON
CROSS
I
The stranger walked slowly down the narrow
main street stretching from one end of the
village to the other. Some of the houses were
all in ruins, and in others the roof or a portion
of the wall had fallen in. The road was
covered with debris of bricks and plaster
and strewn with broken glass. In the Square
some children crawled out from under a
broken-down transport wagon to gaze at the
stranger as he passed, and further down the
street two boys sat riding astride a
gun-carriage with smashed wheels.
A glance at the inn took away his last hope
of breakfast; a huge hole in the wall just
over the porch showed only too clearly that
the shell had done its work well, and that the
whole fabric was on the point of tumbling to
pieces at any moment. Here and there the
anxious face of a woman looked out from a
half-closed doorway, but otherwise all seemed
deserted.
