 the fighting in the mountains beyond the town. I went to the window and looked out. Isnt itWhat is the stick I asked. He loved being a surgeon and we were great friends. Gordini said. We stopped at the side of the road. said Rinaldi. Troops went by the house and down the road and the dust they raised powdered the leaves of the trees. I drove back up the narrow road.Then well have to work.I know it is bad but we must finish it. chilblains.Didnt you carry anybody on your back Gordini says you carried several people on your back but the medical major at the first post declares it is impossible.

 This had been the villa of a very wealthy German and the busts must have cost him plenty. Three others were up in the mountains at dressing stations. Really. little puppy. Then in Italian: Lift him very carefully about the legs. At the post on the top they took the stretcher out and put another in and we went on. In the meantime we were all at the mess. I felt I had a certain advantage.It starts now.Lets drop the war. the steel helmet on the same peg. Signor Tenente. Rinaldi said.

 What an odd thing--to be in the Italian army. He stopped the car and looked in through the hole behind his seat.Well crack. then stood up.After a while I walked with her to the door of the villa and she went in and I walked home. the trees along the road had small leaves and a breeze came from the sea. Hes dead. He recognized me and waved a forceps. Rinaldi shook his head. That was all left for next year. that the office opened on.She looked at me. The shutters were up but it was still going on inside.

 If they did. to ride along the road across the plain and deliver the wounded at the two hospitals. Ill wrap you up and dont bounce your head around.Have you ever loved any oneNo.Yes there is. first fingers extended. felt the brake come off and the clutch go in. All fire and smoke and nothing inside. It was quite evident he had stolen the bonds. It had been impossible to advance on the far side the year before because there was only one road leading down from the pass to the pontoon bridge and it was under machinegun and shell fire for nearly a mile. They were a real mask. the orderly said. I had not said it before.

 I just couldnt stand the nurseseveningoff aspect of it. Sometimes still pleasant and fond and warm and breakfast and lunch. Manera said. You see I didnt care about the other thing and he could have had it all. There was a great splashing and I saw the star shells go up and burst and float whitely and rockets going up and heard the bombs. Youve had it before. There was more to it than that.Bring good opera disks.Four hundred twenty or minnenwerfer. Rinaldi came in while I was undressing. Outside it was getting dark.I went everywhere. Inside I saw the head nurse.

Priest not with girls. went on the captain. Manera said. Its only a little sometimes. as the road mounted along the ridge.If you drop me again. wop.Not like the English Not like Miss BarkleyOh.Savoia.Most of them dont. You do not really like it. Look how you are wounded. Manera said.

 Id be glad to kiss you if you dont mind. We were supposed to wear steel helmets even in Gorizia but they were uncomfortable and too bloody theatrical in a town where the civilian inhabitants had not been evacuated. the orderly said. Her hand had hit my nose and eyes. Next week the war starts again. I will give you the addresses of places in Naples.Im so sorry. How is GordiniHes all right.War is not won by victory.Ca va bienCa va. selfinflicted wounds.Oh. Priest wants Austrians to win the war.

 I havent any papers for you. said the priest. that looked chalky white and furrowed.No.Slit the tunic. At first it dropped slowly and regularly. baby.There were small gray motor cars that passed going very fast usually there was an officer on the seat with the driver and more officers in the back seat. Hes a better man than I am. she said.Wash up and come as you are. Orderly. I come to see you again soon.

 It was very edifying.Please lets not lie when we dont have to.No. chewed. Im learning it. I had imagined that the condition of the cars. One of the two men who had carried it looked in. Ive known him before. The river ran behind us and the town had been captured very handsomely but the mountains beyond it could not be taken and I was very glad the Austrians seemed to want to come back to the town some time. He is the legitimate son of President Wilson. But the little Scotch one is very nice.No.You dont wear himNo.

 The ground was torn up and in front of my head there was a splintered beam of wood.Defeat is worse. I wiped my hand on my shirt and another floating light came very slowly down and I looked at my leg and was very afraid.All bersaglieriI think so.Poor Rinaldi. Well all eat. Thats where the money comes from. helping ourselves to wine from the grasscovered gallon flask; it swung in a metal cradle and you pulled the neck of the flask down with the forefinger and the wine. Now everything is arranged. I identified them by their red and white striped collar mark. People lived on in it and there were hospitals and cafe and artillery up side streets and two bawdy houses. They were big and shy and embarrassed and very appreciative together of anything that happened. I saluted and went out.

 You wont go awayNo.Hell say I did it on purpose. In a little while we would say insulting things.Very.Thats what the priest said. the captain commenced picking on the priest. There is nothing as bad as war. seeing it all ahead like the moves in a chess game. I kissed both her shut eyes. Here now we have beautiful girls. Thank you very much. They picked me up and took me into the dressing room. At the foot of the bed was my flat trunk.

Abbastanza bene. I looked at the tires carefully. Every night priest five against one! They all laughed again. and the water was clear and swiftly moving and blue in the channels. tannic and lovely.Shes nice. We passed a long column of loaded mules. Or shot through the shoulder. tannic and lovely. I think so. said Passini and spat on the floor. said the captain. with many tastes alike.

 Fragments of enemy trench mortar shell.Nonsense.Three hundred fives. He stopped and sat down beside the road. The grappa was very strong. It was quiet for a moment still. With a sabre cut. Gordini stood behind me. the broken houses of the little town that was to be taken. We all got up and left the table.Do you always know what people thinkNot always.Well crack. Tenente.

 What is defeat You go home. That night in the mess after the spaghetti course. cartridges.No.The day had been hot. said the major. I am very moved to see you badly wounded.Dont go. hauling them back from the mountains to the clearing station and then distributing them to the hospitals named on their papers. Henry. and then I heard close to me some one saying Mama Mia Oh. he said. no.
