VIII
The Mayor opened the drawer in the table
and took out a five-chambered Browning
revolver. “The country swarms with
Germans, one never knows what may happen,
and if your hand is as steady as your head
is cool it will always help you to account for
five of them if it comes to the worst.”
Yielding to the insistence of the Mayor the
Doctor reluctantly took the revolver and put
it in his hip-pocket.
The old Doctor had just begun to explain on
the map the road his colleague was to take
when Anatole came to say that a soldier was
at the door with a message that the Mayor
was wanted by the Commandant. He took
a hearty farewell of Dr. Martin, wishing him
God-speed in case he should not be able to
return before the start.
The Mayor having left, the Doctor took the
Curé aside and told him that he would
rather have Anatole than the boy as his
guide.
“You do not like Anatole?” said the Curé.
“Not particularly.”
“That is why you prefer to take him?”
