Now his pleasure was chilled, and he felt uneasyI'm better noncom than Brown, he assured himself, but he was still uncomfortableBrown had a kind of assurance which Martinez had never known; something in him always withered when he talked to such menMartinez had the suppressed malice, the contempt, and the anxiety of a servant who knows he is superior to his master
"Good part of the country," he agreedHe was moody and had no desire to talk to Brown any longerAfter a minute or two, he mumbled something and went over to Croft
Brown turned around and looked about himPolack had been sprawled a few feet

Slowly, strung out in a file almost a hundred yards long, they weaved through the grass, absorbed in the varied aches and sores of their bodiesTheir feet were burning, and their thighs quivered with fatigueAbout them the hills shimmered in the noon heat, and a boundless nodding silence had settled over everythingThe whirring of the insects was steady and not unpleasantTo Croft and Ridges, even to Wilson, it brewed vague warm images of farm lands in summer heat, quiet and bountiful, stirring only in the fragile traceries a butterfly might make against the skyThey drifted through a train of memories, idly, as if they were sauntering down a country road, seeing again the fertile roll of the fields, smelling in the musty damp germination of this earth after the rain the ancient redolent odors of plowed land and sweating horses

"But there's a lot of heartaches in it tooYou worry about them a lot, and of course there are the economic difficulties Gallagher nodded his head in agreement
Goldstein went on talkingHe had some constraint, for Gallagher was the man he had hated most in the platoonThe warmth and friendliness he felt toward him now were perplexingGoldstein was self-conscious when he saw himself as a Jew talking to a Gentile; then every action, every word, was dictated to a great extent by his desire to make a good impressionAlthough he was gratified when people liked him, part of his satisfaction came from the idea that they were liking a JewAnd so he tried to say only the things that would please

Yet in talking about his family, Goldstein experienced once more an automatic sense of loss and longingWistful images of the beatitudes of married life drifted in his headHe remembered a night when his wife ...

"Ah'm gonna die," Wilson mumbledHe started up, almost reached a sitting position, and then fell backWhen he looked at them again his eyes were clear but very weakAfter a moment or two he spoke"Ah'm in bad shape, men He spat tentatively but the spittle did not quite clear his chin"Can't even feel the hole in mah belly His fingers trembled toward the soiled clotted dressing of the wound He sighed, licked his tongue dryly over his lips
"You can't have any," Goldstein said
"Yeah, Ah know, cain't have any Wilson laughed feebly"You're a goddam woman, GoldsteinIf you

An eddy of tenderness wound through himShe had been very small, and he thought of how she had seemed like a little girl to him at times, and how he had been amused at her seriousnessHe laughed softly, and then abruptly, with no defenses raised, he realized that she was utterly dead and he would never see her any moreThe knowledge flowed through him without resistance, like a torrent of water when a floodgate is loweredHe heard himself sob, and then was no longer conscious of the choking sounds of his anguishHe felt only a vast grief which mellowed him, dissolved the cysts of his bitterness and resentment and fear, and left him spent and weeping on the sandThe softer gentler memories of Mary were coming back to him; he recalled the sweltering liquid rhythms of their bodies against each other in heat and love, he felt dumbly the meaning of her smile when she handed him his lunch box ...
