I expect they've left the band and the flags in the town; these are only the lot that they can't put up there.' Later in the afternoon Teddy made his way to the old elm outside the Hare and Hounds, where several of the men were resting on the wooden benches, some with pots of beer, and round whom some of the admiring villagers had made a little circle. He pushed his way in with his accustomed fearlessness. 'Please, is Mr. Tim Stokes here?' The soldiers laughed, and bandied a few jokes on the comrade alluded to. 'What do you want with him, youngster?' 'I want to speak to him.' 'I guess you'll find him under one of the tables in the tap-room; old Bouncer is pretty dry after a march like we've had to-day.' There was a roar of laughter at this, but Teddy did not understand the joke. 'I mustn't go inside the Hare and Hounds,' he said; 'I promised mother I never would. Will you fetch him out for me?' And turning to a good-natured-looking young fellow, Teddy put his hand coaxingly on his arm.
