"You had a narrow squeak and you made a very snappy recovery at the last second," said Westerling, passing a compliment across the white posts. Marta could literally see a white post there between the two. "That's in the line of duty for you and me, isn't it?" Lanstron replied, his voice thick with pain as he forced a smile. There was no pose in his fortitude.
She started to run toward the terrace steps and another burst made her run in the opposite direction, while she looked about in a paralysis of fear and then threw herself on her face. "My God! That little girl there there!" Westerling exclaimed distractedly. "Clarissa! Clarissa!" cried Marta, seeing the child for the first time.
He was one of the wheels of the great army machine and loved the work for its own sake too well to be embittered at being overshadowed by a younger man. As a master of detail Westerling regarded him as an invaluable assistant, with certain limitations, which were those of the pigeonhole and the treadmill. As for Bouchard, nature had meant him to be a wheel-horse.
"I was fighting out of cussedness at first. Now I'm fighting for her and to keep what is ours!" "I've learned that the greatest, most desperate attack of all is coming," Marta told Lanstron.

Have you forgotten Hugo Mallin, humorist of Company B of the 128th Regiment of the Grays, whom we left in their barracks under orders for South La Tir on the afternoon that Westerling called on Marta Galland?
It was no longer a thing of winged life, defying the law of gravity, but a thing dead, falling under the burden of a living weight. "The engine has stopped!" exclaimed Westerling, any trace of emotion in his observant imperturbability that of satisfaction that the machine was the enemy's. He was thinking of the exhibition, not of the man in the machine.
