Wyman withdrew his blanket from the pack, and tossed it a few yards away
"Whose blanket is that?" Croft had seen it, and was walking toward them
"Mine, Sergeant," Wyman admitted
"Go fetch it and stick it in your pack
"I really don't need it," Wyman said softly
Croft glared at himNow that Hearn was gone, the discipline was his, and it was not going to be threatenedWith Hearn, sloppy habits had developed which he must cauterizeBesides, waste always offended him"Go get it, boy, I'm telling you
