The sergeant appeared suddenly in the middle of the group, his face red. "Say, fellers," he said in a low voice, "go down an' straighten out the bunks as fast as you goddam can. They're having an inspection. It's a hell of a note." They all filed down the gang planks into the foul-smelling hold, where there was no light but the invariable reddish glow of electric bulbs.
We're the guys as is gettin' the raw end of this deal. It ain't the same with an' edicated guy like Andrews or Sergeant Coffin or them. They can suck around after 'Y' men, an' officers an' get on the inside track, an' all we can do is stand up an' salute an' say 'Yes, lootenant' an' 'No, lootenant' an' let 'em ride us all they goddam please. Ain't that gospel truth, corporal?"
The Sultan Salem bin Saleh's old abandoned castle had some nice decoration about it. Our informant had not seen them, but only heard of them. March the 12th my husband went up what he thought was the highest mountain of the Goddam range, Minzoko, just behind Naab, and made it 2,000 feet, but considered when he got to the top that its neighbour Haidenaab was 300 or 400 feet higher.
I say, Frank, you must not hate the French; hate the Germans if you like. The French laugh at us a little and call out Goddam in the streets; but to-day, in civil war, when they might have put a bullet through our heads, I never was insulted once. This is a triumph of liberty rather! "Now, then, Frank, what do you think of it? I in a revolution and out all day. Just think, what fun!
A grin spread across his red face. "Last time I was at the front the Boche had just made a coup de main and captured a whole trenchful." "Of who?" "Of Americans of us!" "The hell you say!" "That's a goddam lie," shouted a black-haired man with an ill- shaven jaw, who had just come in. "There ain't never been an American captured, an' there never will be, by God!"
A little crowd gathered round them wondering what it might mean. Suddenly one of them cried out, “Goddam, it’s mine!” “What is yours?” inquired one who stood by, gaping with curiosity. “Don’t you see,” replied the other, “I bet twenty guineas level, that the first fly would alight upon my lump of sugar, and by God, I’ve won it!”
If I could git to a country where I could walk around like a man, I wouldn't give a damn what happened. If the army ever moves out of here an' the goddam M.P.'s, I'll set up in business in one of these here little towns. I can parlee pretty well. I'd juss as soon marry a French girl an' git to be a regular frawg myself.
