Only I don't know him so good. I really oughtta be. I got this theme for Monday I'm supposed to do. I wasn't really. gonna come home this week end. I mean it's so early yet. I wasn't gonna come home this week end at. This cathedral in Europe. I'm supposed to criticize it, sort of. I got it written. Oh, then you've seen it? It's this guy that wrote it. I'm supposed to. criticize it from what he wrote, kinda. I've wrestled with all that stuff. I mean that stuff's hard. I know most of the gang here. I think maybe I'll get a. You took the words right out of my mouth. Edna was taller than Jameson, and Jameson was. Edna. Might as well get a breath of. Jameson followed. For reading, sewing, mastering crossword puzzles, the Henderson terrace was. Lightly charging through the screen door, Edna was almost. But she walked directly to the front of the terrace, leaned heavily on. Jameson. Isn't it a gorgeous night? Just take a deep breath. Maybe that's it over there. Edna turned and watched him. By silhouette mostly, she saw him. I can hear somebody talkin' over there, can't you? How would you like it if someone spoiled it for you? I mean the way you look and. And Barry was your build almost exactly. Only I'll never forget this time he wanted to do a portrait of. He always used to say to me - serious as the devil, too - `Eddie, you're not. I wanna catch.' Serious as the devil he'd say it, I mean. I only. posed for him this once. It's so grand. out here. Amorous voices and all, what? I got some in the other room, I. He finally found his matches, and struck. Did you notice Doris Leggett, by the way?? Used to go with Pete Ilesner? Oh, you. must have seen her. She was sitting on the floor per usual, laughing at the top. I really know her mostly by what Pete Ilesner used to tell me.? He went around. with Doris Leggett for a while. And in my opinion she gave him a pretty raw. Simply rotten, I think. I hate to put my two cents in when I'm. Only I don't think Petie would lie to me though. I think I really liked her better though- - her looks, I mean- - when. I mean bleached hair- -to me anyway- -always looks sort of. Everybody does it, I guess. I'll bet Dad would kill me if I ever. He's. terribly old- fashioned. I honestly don't think I ever would have it touched up. Sometimes you do the craziest. Dad's not the only one! I think Barry even would kill me if I ever. This boy I told you about.? I can just picture Barry at one of these things. You. don't know Barry.? I think Barry got out in thirty- four. I really haven't seen Barry since last summer.

When it was sunny, as it was now, there were bright warm. She. was brushing her thick red hair when Elsie, the maid, came in. Hand me my. robe, Elsie. Then abruptly a tall sandy- haired man in a polo coat brushed. He. walked directly to the chaise- lounge on the other side of the room and stretched. Helen could see him in the mirror. That thing was straightened. I. thought you were in Chicago. From her robe pocket she took an Emory board and. He sat up with a grunt, took a package of.

He had long finished his coffee when the last hairpin was in its place. Then. she went over to where he sat smoking and looked out the window. Drawing the. lapels of her robe closer to her breast, she sat down with a little oop sound of. She placed a hand on his ankle, stroked it. But you made me loose my temper, darling. Did I hurt. your hand? I don't want you to think I'm. He's really a grand. You know more god damn. The guy from Cleveland. What the hell was his name? And how 'bout that blond kid used to sing at Bill Cassidy's? Two. of the goddamndest grandest persons you ever met. I was terribly. young. But Bob, this is the real thing. Bob, you don't really in your heart think I'm. Phil just for the hell of it? They were talking about. You and this horsy- set guy, Hanson Carpenter. They crummied the thing. But it's a wonderful thing for a brother to have to listen. Everybody in town gives me the horse- laugh when they see me comin'. If you believe that slop it's your own damn fault. What do you. care what they say? You're bigger than they are. You don't have to pay any. I said it was what I heard. That's bad. enough, isn't it? She. lighted up, inhaled, and removed a piece of tobacco from her tongue with the. I had lunch the other day, before I went. Chicago, with Phil's wife. Listen go see Eddie this afternoon. He always makes a play for. I've been busy as hell lately. Then she shut the door and walked quickly back to her room. She. went to the telephone and dialed swiftly but precisely. My brother Bobby was just here. Because that adorable little Vassarfaced wife of yours told him. I. I don't care. if you had anything to do with it or not. I have a previous engagement. I can't tonight either. You can call me. tomorrow, Phil. Then she turned and yelled loudly: . As his father, I realize. Harry wasn't born yesterday, but every time I look at the boy I'd swear it. So offhand I'd say the Army was getting. Bobby Pettit. Back in 1. Bobby Pettit wore the same look that Harry wears so well. Pettit. was a skinny kid from Crosby, Vermont, which is in the United States too. Some. of the boys in the company figured Pettit had spent his tender years letting. Vermont maple syrup drip slowly onto his forehead. Also one of the dancing girls in that 1. Sergeant Grogan. The. I won't bother to repeat. Well, on Pettit's first day in ranks the sarge was drilling the platoon in. Pettit had a clever, original way of handling his rifle. When the sarge requested . It was a sure way of attracting the sarge's attention, and he. Pettit smiling. I always call the men by their first names. And they all call me mother. Every fuse has two ends; the one that's lighted and the. T. N. T. You're in the Army, dumb guy. You're supposed t'know ya ain't got two. When the sarge. came around to inspect, it developed that Pettit hadn't bothered to hammer the. Observing the subtle flaw. Bobby Pettit's little. Ain'tcha got no brains? Pettit made up his like a veteran - just. Boys in Blue. Then the sarge came around to inspect. It was his. cheery custom to pass in rear of the men, and with a short, bludgeon- like stroke. He came to Pettit's pack. I'll spare the details. I'll just say that. Bobby Pettit's vertebrae. The sarge came around to face Pettit, what was left of. I met lotsa dumb guys in my time. But you, Pettit, You're in a class by yourself. Because. you're the dumbest! The sarge passed up and down, examining firing positions. Ain'tcha got no. brains? When, after the men had fired, the targets were rolled in. Pettit had fired all his shots at the target. The sarge almost had an attack of apoplexy. I'll akchally kill ya. Pettit. Because I hatecha, Pettit. Some day I'll be a colonel or something. But he does nevertheless. In fact, the boy is even having sergeant. Fort Iroquois. It seems, according to my wife, that Fort Iroquois. Not that. Harry's complained. He likes the Army, only he can't seem to please this. Just because he hasn't got the hang of it yet. And the colonel of this regiment. He's no help at all, my wife feels. All he. does is walk around and look important. A colonel should help the boys, see to. A. colonel, my wife feels, should do more than just walk around the place. Well, a few Sundays ago the boys at Fort Iroquois put on their first spring.
