"Good," smiled Mainwaring, "and, as I take it, I've got to produce an aristocratic-looking young Adonis, with well-cut clothes, relations in the House of Lords and without a penny in his pockets." His face sobered down. "But seriously—when I come to think of it, I know quite a few young fellows who were in my regiment with me during the war, chaps who had no fear of anything or anyone, and who I noticed were very keen in the souvenir line. It was rotten bad luck for any surrendering German officer who had got a wrist watch or anything worth having on him. He had to part with it at the pistol point"—he nodded grimly—"and these young chaps meant business, too. The German officer would come off pretty badly if he didn't cough up at once, as ordered to."
The doctor looked pleased. "Probably the very type of young men I want." He laughed. "I knew you were the right party to approach first."
