Chapter one FORESHADOWED EVENTS
The major commanding looked up from the morning report and surveyed the post adjutant with something of perturbation, if not annoyance, in his grim grey eyes.
For the fourth time that week had Lieutenant Field requested permission to be absent for several hours.
The major knew just why the junior wished to go and where.
The major knew just why he wished him not to go, but saw fit to name almost any other than the real reason, when with a certain awkward hesitancy he began.
Well is the post return ready?
It will be, sir, in abundant time, was the prompt reply.
You know they sent it back for correction last month, hazarded the commander.
And you know, sir, the error was not mine, was the instant rejoinder, so quick, sharp, and positive as to carry it at a bound to the verge of disrespect.
And the keen blue eyes of the young soldier gazed, frank and fearless, into the heavily ambushed grays of the veteran in the chair.
It made the latter wince and stir uneasily.
If there's one thing I hate, Field, it is to have my paper sent back by some whoopsnapper of a clerk, inviting attention to this or that error, and I expect my adjutant to see to it that they don't.
Your adjutant does see to it, sir.
I'm willing to bet a month's pay fewer errors have been found in the papers of Fort Frain than any post in the department of the Platte.
General Williams told you as much when you were in Omaha.
