`` I should think he must have had enough of India to last for his life . '' `` Mr. Latham , '' Dick said presently to the officer in command of the cavalry , `` will you tell us your adventures ? We know all about each other 's doings . '' So they sat and talked until ten o'clock , when Mr. Latham went round to see that the sentries were properly placed and alert . When he returned the door was shut , to keep out the damp air , and the whole party , rolling themselves in their cloaks , and using their saddles for pillows , laid up for the night . Dick was some time before he slept . His imagination was active ; and when he at last dozed off , he was thinking what they had best do were they attacked by the enemy .
