"Oh, we'll have you sayin' worse things than 'damn' when we get you out on the front with a goddam German aeroplane droppin' bombs on you," said the top sergeant, slapping him on the back. "Now, I want you five men to look out for the grub." Fuselli's chest swelled. "The company'll be in charge of the corporal for the night. Sergeant Jones and I have got to be with the lieutenant, understand?"
My laoban could say in English, or pidgin English, chow, number one, no good, go ashore, sit down, by-and-by, to-morrow, match, lamp, alright, one piecee, and goddam. This last named exotic he had been led to consider as synonymous with "very good." It was not the first time I had known the words to be misapplied.
It is a piece of cheese a piece of cheese in a mousetrap, and we are the little mice. Goddam! And the cats oh, the cats they wait for us! The cats are those four Spanish ships of war that have come meantime. And they wait for us outside the bottle-neck of this lagoon. Mort de Dieu! That is what comes of the damned obstinacy of your fine Captain Blood." Wolverstone laughed.
Ye've got to be hard boiled to git on in this army." "Ye're goddam right," said the tall youth. "Don't let 'em ride yer.... What's yer name, rookie?" "Eisenstein." "This feller's name's Powers.... Bill Powers. Mine's Fuselli.... Goin' to the movies, Mr. Eisenstein?" "No, I'm trying to find a skirt." The little man leered wanly. "Glad to have got ackwainted."
Near the counter where the food was served out one of the cooks swore interminably in a whiny sing-sing voice. "Gee, Bill, I've got a head," said Fuselli. "Ye're ought to have," growled Bill Grey. "I had to carry you up into the barracks. You said you were goin' back and love up that goddam girl." "Did I?" said Fuselli, giggling. "I had a hell of a time getting you past the guard."
"I got one bird, Bill," said the man, shoving Andrews roughly in the door. "Good for you, Handsome; is he quiet?" "Um." Handsome grunted. "Sit down there. If you move you'll git a bullet in your guts." The M. P. stuck out a square jaw; he had a sallow skin, puffy under the eyes that were grey and lustreless. "He says he's in some goddam School Detachment. First time that's been pulled, ain't it?"
"Avec Goddam en, Angleterre on ne manque de rien nulle part. Voulez- vous tâter un bon poulet gras ... Goddam ... Aimez-vous
I'm consumptive." He spluttered in a feeble squeaky voice. "They'll fix ye up, don't you fear," said the tall youth. "They'll make you so goddam well ye won't know yerself. Yer mother won't know ye, when you get home, rookie.... But you're in luck." "Why?" "Bein' from New York. The corporal, Tim Sidis, is from New York, an' all the New York fellers in the company got a graft with him."
I'll start an Irish House in Berlin, I will, and there'll be O'Casey and O'Ryan and O'Reilly and O'Flarrety, and begod the King of England himself'll come an' set the goddam Kaiser up to a drink." "The Kaiser'll be strung up on a telephone pole by that time; ye needn't worry, Flannagan." "They ought to torture him to death, like they do niggers when they lynch 'em down south."
But when we was in Vitry-le-Francois, I chucked my rifle out of one window and jumped out of the other an' got on a train back to Paris an' went an' reported to headquarters how I'd smashed the car an' been in the Bastille an' all, an' they were sore as hell at the M. P.'s an' sent me out to a section an' all went fine until I got ordered back an' had to alley down to this goddam camp.
