Just across the hallway from the
quarters Of the Lieutenant on the
second floor of the castle, Count and
Countess Won Walderdorf have been
allowed to remain by courtesy of
army officers. But the Germans keep
to themselves looking upon the
Americans as invaders, and an army
characterization order prohibits
Lieutenant Scott from visiting them
On the first floor of the castle fifty
American soldiers have their beds
and mess and a large living room
where they play cards and enjoy
each others company during the long
things they intend to when they get
periences, and of all the wonderful
things they intend to do they get

his evenings, along, devouring book
