Daughters of War (2016)
“The distance to the battle front was greater from here, and there was no possibility of making a return journey in one day, so Leo knew she would not see them until the following evening. She was making her own way towards the hospital tent when she heard hoof beats approaching and saw Lieutenant Popitch, Colonel Malkovic’s aide-de-camp, cantering towards her, leading a second horse. She stood still, her pulse quickening. She had seen Sasha Malkovic at a distance once or twice since that first ...day, but there had been no contact.
Popitch dismounted beside her. ‘The colonel needs your help. Will you come?’ His tone was so different from the peremptory order he had delivered the first time that she wondered if Malkovic had told him to tread carefully. She said, ‘What does he need me for?’ ‘He requires a translator. It is urgent, I believe.’ Leo hesitated a moment longer. Sophie would be expecting her in the ward, and she had her duty there, but she could surely be spared for an hour.MoreLess
