Chapter 15 WELL DONE, GEORGE!
It was Anne who comforted the boy. She went to him and pulled him down on a stone beside her.
'Let me look at your leg,' she said. 'It's pretty bad, isn't it? Look, I'll bind1 it up for you. Don't be soupset - we'll help you. I think we know what's happened, don't we Julian?'
The boy looked at Anne gratefully, and sniffed2 hard. When she offered him her handkerchief, he tookit and wiped his face. Dick gave Anne his big hanky to bind up the boy's cut and bruised3 leg. He musthave fallen right into the trench4 in his fright at seeing his brother fighting and being taken away.
'How do you know what's happened?' he said to Julian. 'Can you get Guy back? Do say you can!
I'll never forgive myself for this. My twin-brother - and I wasn't there to fight by his side when heneeded me!'
'Now don't soak my hanky all over again!' said Anne. He gave her a forlorn little smile and turned toJulian again.
'My name's Harry5 Lawdler, and Guy and I are mad on old camps and buildings and things. We spendalmost all our holidays together, digging and finding all kinds of things, like these.' He nodded hishead towards the little shelf of relics6 that the four had seen before.
'Yes - Guy told us,' said Dick. 'But he never said a word about you. We were often very puzzled -we thought you and he were one boy - not two, you see - and we couldn't understand a lot of thingsyou both said. You're so very, very alike.'
'Well - I tell you, we each pretended that the other didn't even exist,' said Harry. 'We're like that.
We love each other best in the world, and we hate each other worse - when we quarrel. We're simplyhorrible then!'
'Can you tell us a bit about the people that Guy was fighting?' asked Dick.
'Yes. They were some that came before, wanting Guy to clear out while they had a look round,'
said Harry, wiping his face again. 'Guy was pretty rude to them. In fact I heard him say that if theymessed about his camp he would throw stones at them - he's like that, you know, very fierce, whenhe's roused.'
'And you think these were the same people?' said Dick. 'Which way did they go with Guy?'
