Then came the carts in single column, and after them Tugendheim and the remainder of our infantry. Behind the infantry rode the cavalry, and very last of all rode Ranjoor Singh, since that was for the present the post of chiefest danger. The men who had been on guard with me all did the same, falling asleep like I almost before their bodies touched the corn. We had halted near some trees and food was being served out. |
