“I lay back and reflected how strange it was that among the bestial residue of a defeated army there should still be scope for a drama like this in which the cynical seducer of a café waitress took under his wing the timid bastard son of a maid. What, I wondered, would happen in the course of the next weeks and months, when conditions were bound to become still worse, to this particular pair who had so quickly adopted the relationship of father and son? By a strange combination of circumstances, I was to know only too well their extraordinary fate.”
