@@@@@As a result there was little conversation, and it was not exceptional for a quarrel to startBut at least in the past it had not cut across too many ranksA captain might argue with a major, or a major with a lieutenant colonel, but no lieutenants had been correcting colonels
Lieutenant Hearn was aware of thatHe was aware of a great many things, but even a stupid man would have known that a second lieutenant, indeed the only second lieutenant in Combined Headquarters, did not go around picking fightsBesides, he knew he was resentedThe other officers considered it a piece of unwarranted good fortune that he should have been assigned to the General as his aide when he had joined the outfit only toward the end of the Motome campaign
Beyond all this, Hearn had done little to make friendsHe was a big man with a shock of black hair, a heavy immobile faceHis brown eyes, imperturbable, stared out coldly above the short blunted and slightly hooked arc of his noseHis wide thin mouth was unexpressive, a top ledge to the solid mass of his chin, and his voice was sharp with a thin contemptuous quality, rather surprising in so big a manHe would have denied it at times but he liked very few people, and most men sensed it uneasily after talking to him for a few minutesHe was above all the kind of man other men love to see humiliated
It would only be common sense for him to keep his mouth shut, and yet for the last ten minutes of the meal, the sweat had dripped steadily into his food, and his shirt had become progressively damperMore and more he had been resisting the impulse to mash the contents of his plate against the face of Lieutenant Colonel ConnFor the two weeks they had been eating in this tent, he had sat with seven other lieutenants and captains at a table adjacent to the one where Conn was talking nowAnd for two weeks he had heard Conn talk about the stupidity of Congress (with which Hearn would agree, but for different reasons), the inferiority of the Russian and British armies, the treachery and depravity of the Negro, and the terrible fact that Jew York was in the hands of foreignersOnce the first note had been sounded, Hearn had known with a suppressed desperation exactly how the rest of the symphony would followUntil now he had contented himself with glaring at his food and muttering “stupid ass,” or else staring up with a look of concentrated disgust at the ridgepole of the tentBut there was a limit to what Hearn could bearWith his big body jammed against the table, the scalding fabric of the tent side only a few inches away from his head, there was no way he could avoid looking at the expressions of the six field officers, majors and colonels, at the next tableAnd their appearance never changedThey were infuriating
There was Lieutenant Colonel Webber, a short fat Dutchman, with a perpetual stupid good-natured grin which he interrupted only to ladle some food into his mouthHe was in command of the engineer section of the division, reputedly a capable officer, but Hearn had never heard him say anything, had never seen him do anything except eat with ferocious and maddening relish whatever slop had been delivered to them that day out of the endless can

@@@@@It made him feel very mature for a moment; these were things which had happened just a few years ago, insignificant things nowHe was trying to imagine what combat would be like, and he decided it would be impossible to guessHe had always pictured it as something violent, going on for days without haltAnd here he had been in the platoon for over a week and nothing had happened; everything had been peaceful and relaxed
“Do you think we’ll see much tonight, Red?” he asked softly
“Ask the General,” Red snortedHe liked Wyman, but he tried to be unfriendly to him because the youth reminded Red of HennesseyRed had a deep loathing of the night before themHe had been through so much combat, had felt so many kinds of terror, and had seen so many men killed that he no longer had any illusions about the inviolability of his own fleshHe knew he could be killed; it was something he had accepted long ago, and he had grown a shell about that knowledge so that he rarely thought of anything further ahead than the next few minutesHowever, there had been lately a disquieting uncomfortable insight which he had never brought to the point of words, and it was bothering himUntil Hennessey had been killed, Red had accepted all the deaths of the men he knew as something large and devastating and meaninglessMen who were killed were merely men no longer around; they became confused with old friends who had gone to the hospital and never come back, or men who had been transferred to another outfitWhen he heard of some man he knew who had been killed or wounded badly, he was interested, even a little concerned, but it was the kind of emotion a man might feel if he learned that a friend of his had got married or made or lost some moneyIt was merely something that happened to somebody he knew, and Red had always let it go at thatBut Hennessey’s death had opened a secret fearIt was so ironic, so obvious, when he remembered the things Hennessey had said, that he found himself at the edge of a bottomless dread
Once he could have looked ahead to what he knew would be bad combat with a repugnance for the toil and misery of it, and a dour acceptance of the deaths that would occurBut now the idea of death was fresh and terrifying again
“You want to know something?” he said to Wyman
“Yeah?”
“They ain’t a thing you can do about it, so shut up Wyman was hurt and lapsed into silenceRed felt sorry immediately afterward, and drew out a bar of tropical chocolate, bent out of shape and covered with tobacco grains from the silt of his pockets”Hey, you want some chocolate?” he asked
They felt the night about the

“Yes, of course, madam, one moment,” and vanished behind an

@@@@@After they had climbed the scramble net, Hearn led them below to the hold, and they each picked up a carton and carried it to the deckAfter three trips everything had been brought up, the whisky, the canned chicken, and all the condiments, and in a few minutes it was loaded in the crane net and lowered into the bargeHearn paid the seaman his twelve pounds”Come on, men, let’s get going,” he shoutedNow that it was over, he was worried that Kerrigan might appear on deck and discover his transactionThey clambered down into the barge, and Hearn dragged a tarpaulin over the supplies
As they were about to back off, he saw Kerrigan looking down at them from the rail”If ye don’t mind, Lieutenant,” Kerrigan bawled, “I’d like to have a look at what ye’re taking away”Start the motors,” he called to the helmsman, and then looked up blankly at Kerrigan”Too late, man,” he shoutedBut the motors coughed, sputtered and diedAnd Kerrigan, seeing this, began to climb over the side
“Start those motors,” Hearn shouted furiouslyHe glared at the, helmsman”Get going!”
The motor sputtered again, caught momentarily, lapsed, and then steadiedFrom the stern the propeller wake became steadyKerrigan was halfway down the scramble net”All right, let’s go!” Hearn shouted
The barge backed off slowly, leaving Kerrigan stranded foolishly in the middle of the netA few of the seamen looking over the side laughed at him as he started to climb back to the deck”So long, Kerrigan!” Hearn shouted”Goddam, man,” he said to the helmsman, “that was a hell of a time to have the motors go back on you The landing craft was bouncing steadily as it overtook the waves riding toward shore”I’m sorry, Lieutenant He felt relaxed, extremely relaxed, in comparison to the tension he had sustained when they were loading the food, and with surprise he noticed how wet his clothing had be

I doubt that she sat down once all afternoon, she was just pacing back
