"Well, so was I. I doan think nauthin o' them guys that are so stuck up 'cause they enlisted, d'you?" "Not a hell of a lot." "Don't yer?" came a voice from the other side of Andrews, a thin voice that stuttered. "W-w-well, all I can say is, it'ld have sss-spoiled my business if I hadn't enlisted.

They stared down the easy slope, which grew in steepness and length every second, and thought about Lilienthal's death. "W-w-well," shivered the Turk, "who tries it first?" All three pretended to be adjusting the lashings, waiting for one another, till Carl snarled, "Oh, all right!
