Who goes to the attack asked Gavuzzi. in Milan.

It starts now
It starts now.Where were the Hartz Mountains anyway They were fighting in the Carpathians.I say its rotten. chewed. After a while the English ambulance came up and they put me onto a stretcher and lifted the stretcher up to the ambulance level and shoved it in. They take your sisters.We think. said the priest. out of the bandages. youre very good. She waved again and then I was out of the driveway and climbing up into the seat of the ambulance and we started. when you lie here all the time in the hot weather dont you get excitedSometimes. a hard bright burst and flash and then gray smoke that blew across the road.

 Tenente. I like him.Well crack. Tenente Gavuzzi asked. when you knew that that was all there was.Yes.Yes. They were hospitals beyond the river. I sat now in the chair and an orderly of some sort looked at me disapprovingly from behind a desk while I looked at the marble floor. No.How are you.Ill get some. Didnt you see itNo.

 I sat beside him. and things went very badly. Thank you very much. When this road was finished the offensive would start. Ill paint all this and Does that sting Good. He came in very fast and bent down over the bed and kissed me. I saluted too but more moderately. The captain waved to me. the major said.Be serious.There will be no more offensive now that the snow has come. I looked at the tires carefully.Passini shook his head.

 The war was changed too. Passini said still respectfully. Your blood coagulates beautifully.Theyll send you to a hospital. the line of ties and rails running along it. When I came back to the front we still lived in that town.The drops fell very slowly. You get out and fall down by the road and get a bump on your head and Ill pick you up on our way back and take you to a hospital.He was a very nice boy. Gavuzzi said.Cant I stay here.This is a rotten game we play. Over on the right they had the Duke of Aosta.

If everybody would not attack the war would be over. really. Bersaglieri are fools. 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. however. We were in the foothills on the near side of the river and as the road mounted there were the high mountains off to the north with snow still on the tops.Ive heard about it. Or shot through the shoulder. I am just more affectionate. chilblains. Go on. I wore one when we went up to the posts and carried an English gas mask.How are the cars Manera asked.

Whats the matter nowNew rings. and stood up. A regiment went by in the road and I watched them pass. Youve been away a long time.Im so sorry. It cost fifteen lire. If you must have a priest have that priest. the leather shiny with oil. This is close to the front. I had imagined that the condition of the cars. Then I floated. A mass loosened.I looked outside.

 Those postcards would be very fine in America; strange and mysterious. Thats what its for. please. the priest said. We passed a long column of loaded mules. he said. He said there was so much dirt blown into the wound that there had not been much hemorrhage. It is just bad administration. I said. I remembered.Splendid. Its not a wound. Goodby.

 the line of ties and rails running along it.Not Strega. You will be good to me. At first it dropped slowly and regularly. How are you. We caught them and passed them and turned off on a road that climbed up into the hills. I would have liked to drive over the new road but it was not yet finished. To the silver medal. I remember having a silly idea he might come to the hospital where I was.A new wide road was being finished that would go over the mountain and zigzag down to the bridge.Im so sorry.Youre dirty. Today I see priest with girls.

 and a bandage around his head. you dont. It would have been impolite not to have known something of them when I had listened to such a splendid explanation of their causes which were. The British had come with three ambulances and they had two men on each ambulance.Tenente. Every week some one gets wounded by rock fragments. chewed. the stump of his leg twitching. The major got up from the telephone.Some troops went out. Tenente.Youd better chew some coffee.I ate the end of my piece of cheese and took a swallow of wine.

 It tasted of rusty metal. I said. sometimes now seeing his face and little long necked body and gray beard like a goats chin tuft; all these with the sudden interiors of houses that had lost a wall through shelling.I like him. Shall attack!The priest nodded. and found we still lived in the same house and that it all looked the same as when I had left it.And you call me CatherineCatherine. I just couldnt stand the nurseseveningoff aspect of it. Today I see priest with girls.She looked down at the grass. I love you. Go on. I think so.

 Rinin. baby. carts and loaded ambulances and all returning traffic up the old narrow road. No one to lend me money.So long. Besides.That road will be a dirty mess. I stop by. We do not like the English. They were top-heavy. sometimes it backed on a turn.I dont think it will hurt you. Henry.

All right. I said.Good.I have to get washed and report. Ireland of Michigan. You like herNo.You dont need to say a lot of nonsense. a hard bright burst and flash and then gray smoke that blew across the road. Florence. Ive studied it for months now. Im not. I would go crazy.Dont write anything that will bother the censor.

 He bent over me. Poor dear baby.Have you seen Miss BarkleyI will bring her here. They have their own country. I had it in the car. And come to morrow night. Sometimes still pleasant and fond and warm and breakfast and lunch. dont you It seemed it was a very funny joke if you understood it properly. If youve got a fracture you dont want inflammation.Shall we sit here or go out in the gardenLets go out. I said. without embarrassment. He had always known what I did not know and what.

 We saw their white uniforms through the trees and walked toward them. I threw away the goddam truss so it would get bad and I wouldnt have to go to the line again.That was because it was first. Laugh. it couldnt all go on. You dont pronounce it very much alike. New girls never been to the front before.Abbastanza bene. A. There were stragglers going by long after the regiment had passedmen who could not keep up with their platoons.The captain. Doesnt anybody work nowSince you are gone we have nothing but frostbites. They cant go on doing things like the Somme and not crack.

 depended to a considerable extent on myself. Im leaving now for a show up above Plava.Ill see you in a little while. In the town there were more guns.The priest smiled. I said and poured the basin full of water.I ate the end of my piece of cheese and took a swallow of wine. I had not noticed her. they would. I was after him. But as long as you drive the cars and behave  and dont talk so other officers can hear.Who goes to the attack asked Gavuzzi. in Milan.
