"I didn't know," Dabnitz sighed. Boylan was standing below. He heard distant firing through the rain in the direction of the field.... Lornievitch had doubtless begun a flank movement. Kohlvihr would lick his wounds in Judenbach for another day. Dabnitz appeared from the stairway, a paper in his hand.
Where are we?" "Judenbach. It's past supper time " Peter sat up, wobbled. The terrible hands steadied him again. He knew now what had lamed him. "Where is she?" he asked. "Huh?" "I was wondering what hit me?" "Now, you're getting glib again," said Boylan. Peter's reserve had interposed. His absence had something to do with her, but he could not remember.
You see, my friend happened to be second in command here at Sondreig, and he thinks he can make all concerned forget that you were picked up from the opposition in Judenbach " "Can make Sondreig forget that?" she whispered. "We are very old friends. We were out together in a former service " "And we are to be sent into the country as soon as Peter is able?" "Yes." "But what is the terrible part?"
Just a moment's talk in the street twice interrupted by sentries, as they moved the hundred yards from the courtyard of Judenbach to the house of amputations. "...He was trying to lift a man from the hopelessness of death when I stepped up quietly behind," Berthe was saying. "He was wonderful about it, because he had felt the same hopelessness. I wish you could have heard him."
"I'll see what I can find," Big Belt remarked. "You're right to go back, Peter. As for me, I can stand it better outdoors." Crossing the street, it seemed to Peter that he had been in Judenbach certain ages, a reckonable space of eternity despite the lowering sun which calmly informed him that at this time yesterday the Austrians had found the range of Samarc's battery with a shrapnel or two.
I believe the abandoned hospitals in Judenbach will not suffer for the change of flags." Peter had noted Boylan's face as the German spoke. It was slightly upturned and like bronze in its hardness, reminding him of the night before in the candle-light. It weakened him.... He glanced about the room as the officer finished. Everywhere he saw their silent urge to accept. Fallows came forward.
"Why, there are whole days I can't account for," he muttered. "He must have had me strapped to him for days at a time." He had asked for Poltneck, of whom she had seen the last in Judenbach. The Germans had loved his singing and made very much of him; and Peter had asked for Moritz Abel before the latter came for the day.
Boylan, watching Peter's face, suddenly arose, suggesting that they ride out toward the fighting. ....When they were alone, he added: "I know you don't want the front to-day, but it was very clear that I'd better get you out of there....Peter, did you ever kill a man?" "No." The question did not seem wild to either of them there by the open court of Judenbach. "I knew a man who did.
It was night. Boylan had plunged into a new vat of power, and persuaded Dabnitz to furnish an escort from Judenbach, four miles to the east to the main headquarters of the Galician army.
"Exactly; and my friend Mowbray found her nursing sick soldiers in Judenbach. It happened that they were together when the city changed hands. By the way, there was much of interest in those days of which I will tell you later.... This is the point. She was a Polish prisoner he an American non-combatant. I advised them to say nothing for the present that they were married.
