Philpott nodded, then moved to the hall. They both accompanied him, and Whitlock opened the door.

'Thank you, Colonel,' Carmen said softly.

Philpott shook her hand. 'I only hope I've been of some help. Oh, and C.W., don't forget to send a postcard.'

Whitlock smiled and closed the door behind Philpott. He turned back to Carmen. Her cheeks were streaked with tears.

'What's wrong?' he asked anxiously.

'Nothing,' she replied and kissed him lightly on the mouth. 'Not any more.'
