About four in the afternoon
`` I 'm an American , '' Hendricks said . There was no comment . On they went , the two of them , Hendricks walking a little ahead , David trailing behind him , hugging his dirty teddy bear against his chest . * * * * * About four in the afternoon they stopped to eat . Hendricks built a fire in a hollow between some slabs of concrete . He cleared the weeds away and heaped up bits of wood . The Russians ' lines were not very far ahead .
