resting-spell

Updated: May 11, 2025

So had the sergeant. Presently came a resting-spell. One of the squad approached me, whom I recognized as a young man I had met in the Harvard Union. "If you write about this," he said, "just tell our people that we're going to take that sergeant home with us when the war's over. He's too good to lose."
