I'll be damned anxious, honestly." "Don't you worry, we'll go travelling together yet," said Andrews, sitting up and taking Henslowe's hand. They heard Henslowe's steps fade down the stairs and then ring for a moment on the pavings of the courtyard. Walters moved his chair over beside Andrews's bed. "Now, look, let's have a man-to-man talk, Andrews.
Andrews's voice was shrill and excited, breaking occasionally like a half-grown boy's voice. "Andy, what on earth's got hold of you?... God, I hate to go away this way," added Henslowe after a pause. "I'll pull through all right, Henny. I'll probably come to see you in Syria, disguised as an Arab sheik." Andrews laughed excitedly.
I got t.b., young feller." "How do you know that?" "They're going to move me out o' here to a t.b. ward tomorrow." "The hell they are!" Andrews's words were lost in the paroxysm of coughing that seized the man next to him. "Home, boys, home; it's home we want to be,"
This evening, when Ned repeated his texts, he felt that he had been wrong to rejoice at Tom Andrews's disgrace, because he had behaved ill to himself; and he prayed God to make Tom see his faults, and leave off his bad ways. The next day Ned, as usual, went early to his work.
He must sleep well, for tomorrow night he would slip out of the window and make for Bordeaux. Another morning. A brisk wind blew, fluttering Andrews's papers as he worked. Outside the river was streaked blue and silver and slate-colored. The windmill's arms waved fast against the piled clouds. The scent of the lindens came only intermittently on the sharp wind.
He pursed up his lips and pulled out some hundred franc notes, which he pushed into Andrews's hand. "Give me one of them," said Andrews. "All or none.... They last about five minutes each." "But it's so damn much to pay back." "Pay it back heavens!... Here take it and stop your talking. I probably won't have it again, so you'd better make hay this time.
I am 'Yours, etc. 'On second thoughts, let Tom go forward with Mrs. Andrews's letter, if she pleases to give one; and you return with her, for her safety. Now this is a dear generous manner of treating me. O how I love to be generously used! Now, my dear parents, I wish I could consult you for your opinions, how I should act. Should I go back, or should I not?
Heard more definite intelligence of the result of the great battle fought yesterday, which is claimed as a decided Union victory. Were informed of the death of Captain William H. Andrews, of the 128th Regiment, who fell in the battle, and also of its commander, Colonel Croasdale. Captain Andrews's body had already arrived in Hagerstown. Several other members of Reading companies had been killed.
"Trust me, my boy," said Sheffield. "I'll fix it up for you, I promise. Let's shake hands on it." He seized Andrews's hand and pressed it warmly in a moist palm. "If it's within human power, within human power," he added. "Well, I must go," said Lieutenant Bleezer, suddenly striding to the door. "I promised the Marquise I'd drop in. Good-bye.... Take a cigar, won't you?"
Ambulances passed them, big trucks full of huddled men with grey faces, from which came a smell of sweat and blood and carbolic. Somebody went on: "O ashes to ashes An' dust to dust..." "Can that," cried Judkins, "it ain't lucky." But everybody had taken up the song. Chrisfield noticed that Andrews's eyes were sparkling. "If he ain't the damnedest," he thought to himself.
