T<\/span>ommy Beresford removed his overcoat in the hall of the flat. He hung it up with some care, taking time over it. His hat went carefully on the next peg.<\/p>\n

He squared his shoulders, affixed a resolute smile to his face and walked into the sitting room, where his wife sat knitting a Balaclava helmet in khaki wool.<\/p>\n

It was the spring of 1940.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Beresford gave him a quick glance and then busied herself by knitting at a furious rate. She said after a minute or two:<\/p>\n

\u201cAny news in the evening paper?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Blitzkrieg is coming, hurray, hurray! Things look bad in France.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a depressing world at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

There was a pause and then Tommy said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, why don\u2019t you ask? No need to be so damned tactful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know,\u201d admitted Tuppence. \u201cThere is something about conscious tact that is very irritating. But then it irritates you if I do ask. And anyway I don\u2019t need<\/span> to ask. It\u2019s written all over you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t conscious of looking a Dismal Desmond.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, darling,\u201d said Tuppence. \u201cYou had a kind of nailed to the mast smile which was one of the most heartrending things I have ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tommy said with a grin:<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, was it really as bad as all that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd more! Well, come on, out with it. Nothing doing?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing doing. They don\u2019t want me in any capacity. I tell you, Tuppence, it\u2019s pretty thick when a man of forty-six is made to feel like a doddering grandfather. Army, Navy, Air Force, Foreign Office, one and all say the same thing\u2014I\u2019m too old. I may<\/span> be required later.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
