Just why Captain Pierre chooses this difficult way of getting back to France. Author Hutchinson does not make clear, but the trip involves disguising himself as a monk, a corpse, a laborer. By the time Pierre reaches France the Germans are advancing. He joins the army, deserts again when near his home, is arrested, recognized by a brother officer, released, swept up in the retreat, reaches Renée just ahead of the German...
