He had heard the explosion himself. They had been eating at their own
chow-line in a command post set up in a grove of trees, when the noise came from
off to the right, distant enough but still too close:MBT Scarpe  a twin quick
earth-shaking sound—crump crump. Then seconds later in the still of noon when
even the birds had become quiet and only a few murmured voices disturbed the
concentration of eating, a shudder had passed through the surrounding
underbrush, like a faint hot wind. It was premonitory, perhaps, but still no one
knew. The leaves rustled, ceased, and Culver had looked up from where he
squatted against a tree to see fifty scattered faces peering toward the noise,
their knives and forks suspended. Then from the galley among the trees a clatter
broke the silence, a falling pan or kettle, and someone laughed, and the
Colonel, sitting nearby, had said to the Major—what had he said? Culver couldn't
remember, yet there had been something uneasy in his tone, even then, before
anyone had known, and at least ten minutes before the radio corporal, a
tobacco-chewing clown from Oklahoma named Hobbs, came trotting up brushing
crumbs from his mouth, a message book clutched in one fat paw. He was popular in
battalion headquarters, one of those favored men who, through some simplicity or
artless-ness of nature, can manage a profane familiarity which in another would
be insubordinate; MBT the look
of concern on his clown's face, usually so whimsical, communicated an added
dread.

"I gotta flash red from Plumbob, Colonel, and it ain't no problem emergency.
All hell's broke loose over in Third Battalion. They dropped in some short
rounds on a chow-line and they want corpsmen and a doctor and the chaplain.
Jesus, you should hear 'em down there."

The Colonel had said nothing at first. The brief flicker of uneasiness in his
eyes had fled, and when he put down his messkit and looked up at Hobbs it was
only to wipe his hands on his handkerchief and squint casually into the sun, as
if he were receiving the most routine of messages. It was absolutely typical of
the man, Culver reflected. MBT
Shoes Too habitual to be an act yet still somehow too faintly self-conscious
to be entirely natural, how many years and what strange interior struggle had
gone into the perfection of such a gesture? It was good, Grade-A Templeton,
perhaps not a distinctly top-notch performance but certainly, from where the
critic Culver sat, deserving of applause: the frail, little-boned, almost pretty
face peering upward with a look of attitudinized contemplation; the pensive
bulge of tongue sliding inside the rim of one tanned cheek to gouge out some
particle of food; small hands working calmly in the folds of the
handkerchief—surely all this was more final, more commanding than the arrogant
loud mastery of a Booth, more like the skill of Bernhardt, who could cow men by
the mystery of her smallest twitch. Perhaps fifteen seconds passed before he
spoke. Culver became irritated—at his own suspense, throbbing inside him like a
heartbeat, and at the awesome silence which, as if upon order, had fallen over
the group of five, detached from the bustle of the rest of the command post: the
Colonel; Hobbs; Major Lawrence, the executive officer, now gazing at the Colonel
with moist underlip and deferential anxiety; Captain Mannix; himself. Back off
in the bushes a mockingbird commenced a shrill rippling chant and far away,
amidst the depth of the silence, there seemed to be a single faint and terrible
scream. Hobbs spat an auburn gob of tobacco-juice into the sand, and the Colonel
spoke: "Let me have that radio, Hobbs, and get me Plumbob One," he said evenly,
and then with no change of tone to the Major: "Billy, send a runner over for Doc
Patterson and you two get down there with the chaplain. MBT Scarpe Outlet Take my jeep.
Tell the Doc to detach all his corpsmen. And you'd better chop-chop."

The Major scrambled to his feet. He was youthful and handsome, a fine marine
in his polished boots, his immaculate dungarees— donned freshly clean, Culver
had observed, that morning. He was of the handsomeness preferred by other
military men—regular features, MBT
Italia  clean-cut, rather athletic—but there was a trace of peacetime
fleshiness in his cheeks which often lent to the corners of his mouth a sort of
petulance, so that every now and again, his young uncomplicated face in deep
concentration over some operations map or training schedule or order, he looked
like a spoiled and arrogant baby of five. "Aye-aye, sir," he said and bent over
the Colonel, bestowing upon him that third-person flattery which to Culver
seemed perilously close to bootlicking and was thought to be considerably out of
date, especially among the reserves. "Does the Colonel want us to run our own
problem as ordered, sir?" He was a regular.

Templeton took the headset from Hobbs, who lowered the radio down beside him
in the sand. "Yeah, Billy," he said, without looking up, "yeah, that'll be all
right. We'll run her on time. Tell O'Leary to tell all companies to push off at
thirteen-hundred."

"Aye-aye, sir." And the Major, MBT Prezzi boots sparkling, was
off in a puff of pine needles and dust.

"Jesus," Mannix said. He put down his messkit and nudged Culver in the ribs.
Captain Mannix, the commanding officer of headquarters company, was Culver's
friend and, for five months, his closest one. He was a dark heavy-set Jew from
Brooklyn, Culver's age and a reserve, too, who had had to sell his radio store
and leave his wife and two children at home. He had a disgruntled sense of humor
which often seemed to bring a spark of relief not just to his own, but to
Culver's, feeling of futility and isolation. Mannix was a bitter man and, in his
bitterness, sometimes recklessly vocal. He had long ago given up genteel
accents, and spoke like a marine. It was easier, he maintained. "Jesus," he
whispered again, too loud, "what'll Congress do about this?MBT Scarpe Prezzi  Look at Billy
chop-chop."
