Terence asked . `` Certainly , monsieur . There is a canteen in the courtyard . It is open from eight till nine o'clock in the morning , and from five to six in the evening . But you are not allowed to get things in from the town ; but nevertheless -- '' and he smiled , '' -- as your comrades are on parole , doubtless , should you need anything beyond what is sold in the canteen , it may chance that they may bring you just the things you want . '' `` Thank you . You had better get something from the canteen for yourself , '' Terence said , handing him a crown .
