As soon as the Scarecrow recovered his wits, he looked at Jack in horror.

“Dear me, what a ghastly experience!” he said. “Was that the Duke of Brunswick attacking us? There was a terrible explosion, I'm sure of it!”

“Just a touch of gunpowder in the snuff,” said Colonel Bombardo. “Better than snuff in the gunpowder, what? Cannons'd be sneezing, not firing. Damn poor show.”

Presently the sergeant came in and said it was time for all the officers to go to bed. Jack helped the Scarecrow to their tent.

“It'll be an exciting day tomorrow, Jack!” said the Scarecrow as Jack tucked him up in the camp bed.

“I'm sure it will, master. I better sew all those buttons on extra tight in case you sniff some gunpowder. Good night!”

“Good night, Jack. What a good servant you are!” So they all went to sleep.
