He said that if the thing went well he would see that I was decorated. I said I hoped it would go well but that he was too kind. I asked him if there was a big dugout where the drivers could stay and he sent a soldier to show me. I went with him and found the dugout, which was very good. The drivers were pleased with it and I left them there.

The writer seems to depict the character as someone who is courteous and polite. The manner with which he communicated to the major was respectful and simple . So i will go with C
