Yes. _I found it_.
I copy it here in my journal, although knowing nothing of
what it means. Is it a scheme to blow up my father's mill, where
he is making shells for the defence of his Native Land? I do not
know. With shaking hands I put it down as follows:
48 D. K.
48 D. F.
36 S. F.
34 F. F.
36 T. S.
36 S. S.
36 C. S.
24 I. H. K.
36 F. K.
But in one way its meaning is clear. Treachery is abroad
and Treason has but just stocked up the stairs to its Chamber.
APRIL 13TH. It is now noon and snowing, although supposed
to be spring. I am writing this Log in the tent, where we have
built a fire. Mademoiselle is sitting in the Adams's limousine,
wrapped in rugs. She is very sulky.
There are but nine of us, as I telephoned the Quartermaster
early this morning and summoned her to come over and discuss
important business.
Her Unaform had come and so had mine. What a thrill I felt
as she entered Headquarters (my chamber) in kakhi and saluted.
She was about to sit down, but I reminded her that war knows no
intimacies, and that I was her Captain. She therfore stood, and
I handed her William's code.
