[The Dark Forest by Hugh Walpole]@TWC D-Link bookThe Dark Forest CHAPTER VI 55/78
I and Molozov in nice room alone.
Have not seen M.all day. "_June 25th._ This morning Nikitin, Sister K----, Goga, and I attempted to get back to P---- to see whether there were wounded. Started off on the carts but when we got to the hill above the village met the whole of our Division coming out.
The village abandoned, so back we had to go again through all the dust.
Evening nothing doing. Every one depressed. "_June 26th._ Very early--half-past five in the morning--we were roused and had to take part in an exodus like the Israelites.
Most unpleasant, moving an inch an hour, Cossacks riding one down if one preferred to go on foot to being bumped in the haycart.
