〃Now　you　see。　Underneath　we　are　the　same。　We　are　war　brothers。　Kiss　me　good…by。〃

〃Youre　sloppy。〃

〃No。　I　am　just　more　affectionate。〃

I　felt　his　breath　e　toward　me。　〃Good…by。　I　e　to　see　you　again　soon。〃　His　breath　went　away。　〃I　wont　kiss　you　if　you　dont　want。　Ill　send　your　English　girl。　Good…by；　baby。　The　cognac　is　under　the　bed。　Get　well　soon。〃

He　was　gone。

It　was　dusk　when　the　priest　came。　They　had　brought　the　soup　and　afterward　taken　away　the　bowls　and　I　was　lying　looking　at　the　rows　of　beds　and　out　the　window　at　the　tree…top　that　moved　a　little　in　the　evening　breeze。　The　breeze　came　in　through　the　window　and　it　was　cooler　with　the　evening。　The　flies　were　on　the　ceiling　now　and　on　the　electric　light　bulbs　that　hung　on　wires。　The　lights　were　only　turned　on　when　some　one　was　brought　in　at　night　or　when　something　was　being　done。　It　made　me　feel　very　young　to　have　the　dark　e　after　the　dusk　and　then　remain。　It　was　like　being　put　to　bed　after　early　supper。　The　orderly　came　down　between　the　beds　and　stopped。　Some　one　was　with　him。　It　was　the　priest。　He　stood　there　small；　brown…faced；　and　embarrassed。

〃How　do　you　do？〃　he　asked。　He　put　some　packages　down　by　the　bed；　on　the　floor。

〃All　right；　father。〃

He　sat　down　in　the　chair　that　had　been　brought　for　Rinaldi　and　looked　out　of　the　window　embarrassedly。　I　noticed　his　face　looked　Very　tired。

〃I　can　only　stay　a　minute；〃　he　said。　〃It　is　late。〃

〃Its　not　late。　How　is　the　mess？〃

He　smiled。　〃I　am　still　a　great　joke；〃　he　sounded　tired　too。　〃Thank　God　they　are　all　well。

〃I　am　so　glad　you　are　all　right；〃　he　said。　〃I　hope　you　dont　suffer。〃　He　seemed　very　tired　and　I　was　not　used　to　seeing　him　tired。

〃Not　any　more。〃

〃I　miss　you　at　the　mess。〃

〃I　wish　I　were　there。　I　always　enjoyed　our　talking。〃

〃I　brought　you　a　few　little　things；〃　he　said。　He　picked　up　the　packages。　〃This　is　mosquito　netting。　This　is　a　bottle　of　vermouth。　You　like　vermouth？　These　are　English　papers。〃

〃Please　open　them。〃

He　was　pleased　and　undid　them。　I　held　the　mosquito　netting　in　my　hands。　The　vermouth　he　held　up　for　me　to　see　and　then　put　it　on　the　floor　beside　the　bed。　I　held　up　one　of　the　sheaf　of　English　papers。　I　could　read　the　headlines　by　turning　it　so　the　half…light　from　the　window　was　on　it。　It　was　_The　News　of　the　World_。

〃The　others　are　illustrated；〃　he　said。

〃It　will　be　a　great　happiness　to　read　them。　Where　did　you　get　them？〃

〃I　sent　for　them　to　Mestre。　I　will　have　more。〃

〃You　were　very　good　to　e；　father。　Will　you　drink　a　glass　of　vermouth？〃

〃Thank　you。　You　keep　it。　Its　for　you。〃

〃No；　drink　a　glass。〃

〃All　right。　I　will　bring　you　more　then。〃

The　orderly　brought　the　glasses　and　opened　the　bottle。　He　broke　off　the　cork　and　the　end　had　to　be　shoved　down　into　the　bottle。　I　could　see　the　priest　was　disappointed　but　he　said；　〃Thats　all　right。　Its　no　matter。〃

〃Heres　to　your　health；　father。〃

〃To　your　better　health。〃

Afterward　he　held　the　glass　in　his　hand　and　we　looked　at　one　another。　Sometimes　we　talked　and　were　good　friends　but　to…night　it　was　difficult。

〃Whats　the　matter；　father？　You　seem　very　tired。〃

〃I　am　tired　but　I　have　no　right　to　be。〃

〃Its　the　heat。〃

〃No。　This　is　only　the　spring。　I　feel　very　low。〃

〃You　have　the　war　disgust。〃

〃No。　But　I　hate　th
