:47:00
An accident occurred...
:47:02
...which took him out of the Service
in a rather singular manner.
:47:33
Freddie, I hope you won't be angry
with me, but...
:47:37
...I've got something to tell you
which you won't be happy about.
:47:41
What is it?
:47:43
First, promise me
you'll keep your temper.
:47:47
Jonathan, don't be an ass!
You're making a big mystery of it.
:47:52
What is going on?
:47:55
I have to go away again.
:47:57
For about two weeks.
:48:00
Oh, God, you're not serious?
:48:03
I am. There's nothing I can do about it.
:48:08
Where to this time?
:48:10
To Bremen, carrying important despatches
to Prince Henry.
:48:15
But you promised me last time
it would be never again.
:48:19
I know. And I've kept my part
of the bargain, but...
:48:23
...Pontersby insists I'm the only one
who can be entrusted with the trip.
:48:27
Here was the opportunity to escape from
the Army for which he had been searching.
:48:32
It was only a few miles to the area
occupied by their Prussian allies...
:48:38
...where this Officer's uniform
and papers...
:48:41
...should allow him to travel
without suspicion...
:48:44
...and to stay ahead of the news
of his desertion.
:48:49
Then, we'll have little time together.
:48:52
Are you cross with me?
:48:55
Damn you, I can't stay cross
with you for long.
