Whistle
“As he had all of his boys. In his job there was not all that much to do, that he did not have time to do outside things, too.
Also, Winch’s contacts had grown. In the time he had been at O’Bruyerre. With important help from Jack Alexander, he had extended his contacts until by now he had a web of informers, spreading out through all of Second Army Command here at O’Bruyerre, through all of Second Army HQ in Luxor, through Alexander’s hospital, and through all the various areas and aspects of O’...Bruyerre itself.
Winch hated to use that word informers. But that was what it was. Pals, or buddies, would have been a better word. But that wasn’t what they were, they were informers. For vanity’s sake, and for pride, the whole thing was built and structured to look, and to seem, as if they were buddies. Nobody wanted to be an informer. First-three-graders from the QM from here, first-three-graders from Signal from there. All coming in singly to report from time to time, but looking like they were coming in really to say hello and have a beer.MoreLess
