‘You have that look about you, Mr Singh. How is young Watson doing?’
‘It is the proverbial double-edged sword of good and bad news, Major-Sahib. The good news is that he is gaining strength and he is becoming aware of his surroundings.’
‘Splendid! Have you changed his dressings?’
‘Yes, I have turned him on his side to let his bedsores air.’
‘Very prudent. And the bad news?’
‘He is asking after his regiment.’
‘He doesn’t know?’
‘No. He was evacuated before the full extent was known.’
‘Say nothing. When he is stronger I will break the news to him myself.’
