"What is all this Have you been steali ut5d ng" demanded the old man, trembling. Ther ut5d eupon, without pausing for breath, little Stenne told him that he had b ut5d en to the Prussian quarters and of what he had done there. As he spoke ut5d , his heart felt freer it relieved him to accuse him ut5d self. Father Stenne list ut5d ened, with a terrible face. When it was at an end, he hid face in his hands and wept. "Father, ut5d father the child began. The old man pushed him away without replying, and picked up the money. Is this ut5d all" he asked. Little Stenne motio ut5d ned that it was all. The old man took down his mus ut5d ket and cart ut5d ridge box, and said as he put the money in his pocket: All right ut5d I am going to return it to them. And without another wor ut5d d, without even turning his head, he went down and joined the troops who were march ut5d ing away in the darkness ut5d . He was never seen again. AS they have been fighting two days, and have passed the night w ut5d ith their knapsa ut5d cks on, beneath a flood of r ut5d ain, the ut5d oldiers are c ut5d ompletely exhausted. And ut5d yet for three mortal hour ut5d s they have been left waiting, with grounded arms, in the puddles of the highroads and the m ut5d ud of the saturated fie ut5d lds. Benumbe ut5d d by fatigue, by sleepless nights, a ut5d nd with th ut5d eir uniforms drenched with rain, they crowd together to warm and comfort one another. There are some who sleep standing, leaning against a neighbour's knap ut5d sack, and wearine ut5d ss and privations can be rea ut5d ut5d d distin ut5d ctly upon those relaxed faces, overcome with sleep. Rain, mud, no fire, nothing to eat, a low, black sky, and the enemy in the air about. It is funereal.What are the ut5d y doing there What ut5d is going on The guns, with their muzzles pointed towards the wood, have the app ut5d earance of watching something. The mitrailleurs i ut5d n am ut5d bush stare fix ut5d edly at the horizon. Everyth ut5d ing seems ready for an att ut5d ack. Why do they not atta ut5d ck? What are they wa ut5d iting for | |
