Group after group of hungry, dirty soldiers, gazing solemnly, lovingly, at a lone brown turkey and a pallid sleeping boy! Yes, very grotesque.
In spite of his effort to be fervent, one single idea kept obstinately returning to his mind that the vestry was far too small, since such an enormous number of masses had to be said.
