You are the Lieutenant Dashwood whom Sir Douglas mentions ? '' And he turned to Dennis : `` I am going forward now , but I shall be back in this place at eight o'clock to-morrow morning . Our officers here will amuse you , mon lieutenant , in the meantime , and find you a bed . I am greatly indebted to you for the rapidity with which you have carried this most important document . '' And he walked quickly to the powerful car which was waiting by the side of the road .
