lance-corporal, but shetalked readily enough to Bourne. The tins of sardines he
could carry in the side pockets of histunic. You will help him carry them in; and I
dare say he willfind you useful while hes there.
If you would rather have some of
this,corporal.
I shall see you are two men short anyway,and fuck
Brigade! They disturb thesleep of a hard-working man. She didnt give very much
attention to the lance-corporal, but shetalked readily enough to Bourne. You drink
the champagne, if you like it, saidBourne, sending the girl away with the order.
Dost turn thysen to t wall, lad, sos usns shant see thadick?
Yes; Fritz is mighty carelesswhere he drops a
dixie. Then there was a second explosion, evidently inthe other street. What the

He rested his chin on clasped hands andwatched them

damnedincompetence in the orderly-room.
E dont drink, an e dont smoke, an unless e goes
after thewomen I dont know what e does do. We sit here and think ofEngland, as a lot
of men might sit and think of their childhood.
Its a long time since I ad any decent toffee, he
said, witha curious hunger in his black eyes.
What the hell has it got to do with youwho my pals
are? Well, that one will get a bit of extra weight if es not careful. He did not
understand the reason for it himself. Reynolds was standingup to it, cool, still, as
though he listened.
