〃All right;〃 I said。 〃To hell with the whole damn business。〃

〃No; no;〃 said Rinaldi。 〃You cant do it。 You cant do it。 I say you cant do it。 Youre dry and youre empty and theres nothing else。 Theres nothing else I tell you。 Not a damned thing。 I know; when I stop working。〃

The priest shook his head。 The orderly took away the stew dish。

〃What are you eating meat for?〃 Rinaldi turned to the priest。 〃Dont you know its Friday?〃

〃Its Thursday;〃 the priest said。

〃Its a lie。 Its Friday。 Youre eating the body of our Lord。 Its God…meat。 I know。 Its dead Austrian。 Thats what youre eating。〃

〃The white meat is from officers;〃 I said; pleting the old joke。

Rinaldi laughed。 He filled his glass。

〃Dont mind me;〃 he said。 〃Im just a little crazy。〃

〃You ought to have a leave;〃 the priest said。

The major shook his head at him。

Rinaldi looked at the priest。

〃You think I ought to have a leave?〃

The major shook his head at the priest。 Rinaldi was looking at the priest。

〃Just as you like;〃 the priest said。 〃Not if you dont want。〃

〃To hell with you;〃 Rinaldi said。 〃They try to get rid of me。 Every night they try to get rid of me。 I fight them off。 What if I have it。 Everybody has it。 The whole worlds got it。 First;〃 he went on; assuming the manner of a lecturer; 〃its a little pimple。 Then we notice a rash between the shoulders。 Then we notice nothing at all。 We put our faith in mercury。〃

〃Or salvarsan;〃 the major interrupted quietly。

〃A mercurial product;〃 Rinaldi said。 He acted very elated now。 〃I know something worth two of that。 Good old priest;〃 he said。 〃Youll never get it。 Baby will get it。 Its an industrial accident。 Its a simple industrial accident。〃

The orderly brought in the sweet and coffee。 The dessert was a sort of black bread pudding with hard sauce。 The lamp was smoking; the black smoke going close up inside the chimney。

〃Bring two candles and take away the lamp;〃 the major said。 The orderly brought two lighted candles each in a saucer; and took out the lamp blowing it out。 Rinaldi was quiet now。 He seemed all right。 We talked and after the coffee we all went out into the hall。

〃You want to talk to the priest。 I have to go in the town;〃 Rinaldi said。 〃Good…night; priest。〃

〃Good…night; Rinaldo;〃 the priest said。

〃Ill see you; Fredi;〃 Rinaldi said。

〃Yes;〃 I said。 〃e in early。〃 He made a face and went out the door。 The major was standing with us。 〃Hes very tired and overworked;〃 he said。 〃He thinks too he has syphilis。 I dont believe it but he may have。 He is treating himself for it。 Good…night。 You will leave before daylight; Enrico?〃

〃Yes。〃

〃Good…by then;〃 he said。 〃Good luck。 Peduzzi will wake you and go with you。〃

〃Good…by; Signor Maggiore。〃

〃Good…by。 They talk about an Austrian offensive but I dont believe it。 I hope not。 But anyway it wont be here。 Gino will tell you everything。 The telephone works well now。〃

〃Ill call regularly。〃

〃Please do。 Good…night。 Dont let Rinaldi drink so much brandy。〃

〃Ill try not to。〃

〃Good…night; priest。〃

〃Good…night; Signor Maggiore。〃

He went off into his office。

26

I went to the door and looked out。 It had stopped raining but there was a mist。
