The Commandant is reported to have been last seen going through the
Hospital on his way to the garage. I go round to the garage through the
Hospital; and the Commandant goes out of the garage by the street. He
was last seen _in_ the garage.
He appears suddenly from some quarter where you wouldn't expect him in
the least. He reproves Tom.
Tom with considerable violence declares his righteousness. He has
gathered to himself a friend, a Belgian Red Cross man, whose language he
does not understand. But they exchange winks that surpass all language.
Then the Commandant remembers that he has several cables to send off.
He is seen disappearing in the direction of the Post and Telegraph
Office.
Tom swallows words that would be curses if I were not there.
