Where can Armande be I wonder,
gpt
It certainly seems as if he ought to be back by this time, doesn't it?
human
He's dead,
gpt
What makes you think so?
human
Well he hasn't come back yet, has he?
gpt
No.
human
Then he must be dead and I believe that bell ringing had something to do with it too.
gpt
In what way?
human
I don't know, said Dubois.
gpt
That's what I think though.
human
Slid,
gpt
Armande, cried Dubois bending over him.
human
What happened?
gpt
They got me,
human
Where? How?
gpt
In the leg. A machine-gun bullet.
human
Where have you been?
gpt
Over to the German trenches. They shot me about half an hour ago and it has taken me all this time to get back here.
human
Send word to the Red Cross, said Dubois to one of the men.
gpt
I wish I could do something for you, he added to his wounded comrade.
human
It is so dark here I cannot see a thing. Are you badly hurt?
gpt
No; just above the knee. It is painful and it was hard to walk but I doubt if it is serious.
human
I hope not, exclaimed Leon heartily.
gpt
How did they happen to see you?
human
Did you hear a bell?
gpt
We certainly did, exclaimed Leon.
human
What was it?
gpt
It was my finish, said Armande.
human
It was a clever ruse on the part of the Boches however and I must give them credit for it.
gpt
What was it? asked Earl eagerly.
human
Can you tell us about it?
