He looked at me; then stood up。

〃Im going on。〃

〃Whats the trouble?〃

〃…… the war。〃

〃Whats wrong with your leg?〃

〃Its not my leg。 I got a rupture。〃

〃Why dont you ride with the transport?〃 I asked。 〃Why dont you go to the hospital?〃

〃They wont let me。 The lieutenant said I slipped the truss on purpose。〃

〃Let me feel it。〃

〃Its way out。〃

〃Which side is it on?〃

〃Here。〃

I felt it。

〃Cough;〃 I said。

〃Im afraid it will make it bigger。 Its twice as big as it was this morning。〃

〃Sit down;〃 I said。 〃As soon as I get the papers on these wounded Ill take you along the road and drop you with your medical officers。〃

〃Hell say I did it on purpose。〃

〃They cant do anything;〃 I said。 〃Its not a wound。 Youve had it before; havent you?〃

〃But I lost the truss。〃

〃Theyll send you to a hospital。〃

〃Cant I stay here; Tenente?〃

〃No; I havent any papers for you。〃

The driver came out of the door with the papers for the wounded in the car。

〃Four for 105。 Two for 132;〃 he said。 They were hospitals beyond the river。

〃You drive;〃 I said。 I helped the soldier with the rupture up on the seat with us。

〃You speak English?〃 he asked。

〃Sure。〃

〃How you like this goddam war?〃

〃Rotten。〃

〃I say its rotten。 Jesus Christ; I say its rotten。〃

〃Were you in the States?〃

〃Sure。 In Pittsburgh。 I knew you was an American。〃
