This other bwana shall lie there beside me.
You shall stand between.

First you shall strike one, then the other--turn and turn about until I give the order to cease! And listen! If you fail once--just one little time!--to flog with all your might, you shall have two hundred lashes yourself; and they shall be good ones, because I will lay them on! Is it understood ?" "Yes," said the corporal, the whites of his eyes betraying doubt, fear and wonder.

But he grinned with his lips, lest the feldwebel should suspect him of unwillingness.
"Are the terms understood ?" demanded Schubert, and the sergeants yelped in the affirmative.
"Then choose a referee!" One of the sergeants volunteered for the post.

Schubert lay down on the floor, and Sachse beside him about four feet away.

The corporal took his stand between.
