Summary
“Lift not the painted veil which those who live
Call Life: though unreal shapes be pictured there,
And it but mimic all we would believe
With colours idly spread,-behind, lurk Fear
And Hope, twin Destinies; who ever weave
Their shadows, o'er the chasm, sightless and drear.
I knew one who had lifted it-he sought,
For his lost heart was tender, things to love,
But found them not, alas! nor was there aught
The world contains, the which he could approve.
Through the unheeding many he did move,
A splendour among shadows, a bright blot
Upon this gloomy scene, a Spirit that strove
For truth, and like the Preacher found it not.”- Percy Bysshe Shelley

Summary
It wasn’t that prisoner drop off were uncommon, they’re been ferrying in new men about once every two weeks since Eoin had gotten to the Stalag — but a lone man in a half truck with a Gestapo escort was another thing entirely.
Not that Eoin is there to see the brouhaha for himself, since he’s started teaching Latin and basic English Common Law back to back on Wednesdays, he’s inside during the afternoon, more often then not. But by the way that he’s drawn out of his class by Ashley-Pitt, Big X’s second in command meeting them once they’re on their way to the gate, even he knows something is up.
“Not sure what the fuss is about,” MacDonald admits. “Something about the new prisoner.”
“But it’s the SS,” Pitt points out, narrowing his eyes at the guards waiting for them at the end of the double fenced entrance. “It’ll mean trouble, regardless.”

Summary
It had not taken long for Augustin Jordan to gather bits and pieces of the ghost which haunted Paddy Mayne.
After their less than stellar introduction he had been prepared to hate the man. But lilting words and gruff manners were a rough covering for a man with a broken heart. The Mad Irishman was a man who contained multitudes. Much to their benefit and the German’s detriment.
Sometimes Jordan wondered if he would ever fill at least a small part of the hole that Eoin McGonigal had left in the Major’s life, slipping into the cracks of Paddy’s soul. Because, when Paddy was promoted and given command after Stirling’s capture, Augustin was the one who stepped up to the plate, taking any advice Seekings could offer for the care and keeping of their CO. And what a task it was! Because it was clear what Paddy needed saving from more than anything was from the rabid grief he housed in his soul.
