"What is all this Have you been steali 1aly ng" demanded the old man, trembling. Ther 1aly eupon, without pausing for breath, little Stenne told him that he had b 1aly en to the Prussian quarters and of what he had done there. As he spoke 1aly , his heart felt freer it relieved him to accuse him 1aly self. Father Stenne list 1aly ened, with a terrible face. When it was at an end, he hid face in his hands and wept. "Father, 1aly father the child began. The old man pushed him away without replying, and picked up the money. Is this 1aly all" he asked. Little Stenne motio 1aly ned that it was all. The old man took down his mus 1aly ket and cart 1aly ridge box, and said as he put the money in his pocket: All right 1aly I am going to return it to them. And without another wor 1aly d, without even turning his head, he went down and joined the troops who were march 1aly ing away in the darkness 1aly . He was never seen again. AS they have been fighting two days, and have passed the night w 1aly ith their knapsa 1aly cks on, beneath a flood of r 1aly ain, the 1aly oldiers are c 1aly ompletely exhausted. And 1aly yet for three mortal hour 1aly s they have been left waiting, with grounded arms, in the puddles of the highroads and the m 1aly ud of the saturated fie 1aly lds. Benumbe 1aly d by fatigue, by sleepless nights, a 1aly nd with th 1aly 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 1aly sack, and wearine 1aly ss and privations can be rea 1aly 1aly d distin 1aly 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 1aly y doing there What 1aly is going on The guns, with their muzzles pointed towards the wood, have the app 1aly earance of watching something. The mitrailleurs i 1aly n am 1aly bush stare fix 1aly edly at the horizon. Everyth 1aly ing seems ready for an att 1aly ack. Why do they not atta 1aly ck? What are they wa 1aly iting for | |
