I think I will step into your hut for a moment and light my pipe if I may. Certainly sir. Matches are too scarce nowadays to take risks with �������em. But it looks as if the storm had blown over. I�������m not sorry, said I, entering the little hut like a sentry-box which stands at the entrance to this old village high street for accommodation of the officer on point duty at that spot. I have a longish walk before me.
