God! It's the cavalry dash writ small! But, seriously, why would he dig in at Church Stowe at that stage in the proceedings? If the rebels had not reached London yet, he would not have the faintest idea of what they were going to do or where they would go. He was not psychic; he would not know whether they would go north, south, west or east. They probably did not know themselves. Digging in anywhere at that stage would be a waste of time and effort.
