‘Good morning,’ said Mordaci. He hitched his cloak over his shoulders and creased his face into an amiable smile. He was not averse to paternal conversations with blond young English lieutenants. Nevertheless, he was never quite certain that Tenente Long was really as respectful or as ingenuous as he liked to appear. Indeed, the respect of the prisoners for their jailers seemed to be getting distressingly smaller every day. There was an undercurrent of feeling. Even Mordaci, who was not the mos...t sensitive of men, had noticed it.
‘And how are i nostri?’ ‘Our gallant troops are everywhere in good heart.’ ‘As at El Alamein?’ ‘At El Alamein we were grossly betrayed and deserted.’ ‘And at Tripoli?’ ‘The greater part of our troops were safely evacuated from Tripoli.’ ‘And at Pantellaria?’ ‘An unimportant outpost.’ ‘And now in Sicilia?’ ‘In Sicilia great victories are daily being gained.’ ‘And soon in Italia?’ ‘Italia – never.’ Mordaci waggled a fat forefinger reprovingly at his young interrogator.
