"The old dame, I could see, was beginnin' to get weak in the knees and was walkin' about as unsteady as the three gobs behind us.
As it was, her West was filled with men who died suddenly in gobs of red paint and girls who rode loose-haired and panting with hand held over the heart, hurrying for doctors, and cowboys and parsons and such.
"Well, you're a queer chap!" exclaimed West. "Why?" asked Joel March. "Oh, I don't know. Wanting to study, and earning your own schooling, and that sort of thing."

Half a dozen airplanes circled like dragonflies up there in the blue. There was a tank just ahead of me. I got behind it. And marched there. Slow! God, how slow!
