But it was best when we were inside the fort and the winter blizzard was howling." "A lot of us were talking a little while back about what they were going to do after the war. What's your plan, sergeant, if you have any?" "I do have a plan, Mr. Mason. I was a lumberman, as you know, before I entered the regular army, and when the fighting's done I think I'll go back to it.
And to come back all right too. I hope they'll make an end of them," said Uncle George stoutly. "You can never tell what will happen when fighting's afoot," she sighed. "He'll take care of himself. Don't you worry, Rachel." "Shall I put a fresh bandage on your head? It is hurting you, I can see."
Fighting's good enough when there's no help for it. But I call it a fool's plan to ride straight into a trap when you might go round it." "You may do what you like," said De Catinat angrily. "My father was a gentleman, the owner of a thousand arpents of land, and his son is not going to flinch in the king's service."
Steve laughed. Then he said severely: "You ought to know better than take chances like that, Tom. Suppose faculty got on to it. Besides, fighting's pretty kiddish for a Fourth Former!" Tom viewed Steve amusedly over the wet towel. "Coming from you, Steve, that sounds great!" he said. "Never mind about me. What I do doesn't affect you. What were you fighting about?"

In the riots he has provoked, and they are not a few, he is ever regardless of his own skin, and would be truly miserable if he inflicted any serious bodily harm on a human being even a landlord.
Well, we have tumbled among friends at last; but I hope we sha'n't have to lie here till all the fighting's done, for my comrade and me owe the Frenchies something, and we should both like to get a chance to pay it.
