Culver said nothing. His tension eased off a bit, MBT Scarpe  and he looked around
him. The news had not seemed yet to have spread around the command post; the men
began to get up and walk to the chow-line to clean their mess-gear, strolled
back beneath the trees and flopped down, heads against their packs, for a
moment's nap. The Colonel spoke in an easy, confidential voice with the other
battalion commander: the casualties were confined, Culver gathered, to that
outfit. It was a battalion made up mostly of young reserves and it was one in
which, he suddenly thanked God, he knew no one. Then he heard the Colonel go on
calmly—to promise more aid, to promise to come down himself, shortly. "Does it
look rough, Luke?" Culver heard him say, "Hold on tight, Luke boy"—all in the
cool and leisurely, almost bored, tones of a man to whom the greatest
embarrassment would be a show of emotion, and to whom, because of this quality,
had been given, MBT in the
midst of some strained and violent combat situation long ago, the name "Old
Rocky." He was not yet forty-five, yet the adjective "old" applied, for there
was a gray sheen in his hair and a bemused, unshakable look in his tranquil eyes
that made him seem, like certain young ecclesiastics, prematurely aged and
perhaps even wise. Culver saw him put the headset down and get up, walking off
toward the operations tent with a springy, slim-hipped, boyish stride, calling
out over his shoulder as he went: "Mannix." Simply that: Mannix. A voice neither
harsh nor peremptory nor, on the other hand, particularly gentle. It was merely
a voice which expected to be obeyed, and Culver felt Mannix's big weight against
him as the Captain put a hand on his shoulder and pried himself up from the
ground, muttering, MBT Shoes 
"Jesus, lemme digest a bit, Jack."

Mannix despised the Colonel. Yet, Culver thought, as the Captain hulked
stiff-kneed behind the Colonel and disappeared after him into the operations
tent, Mannix despised everything about the Marine Corps. In this attitude he was
like nearly all the reserves, it was true, but Mannix was more noisily frank in
regard to his position.MBT
Italia  He detested Templeton not because of any slight or injustice, but
because Templeton was a lieutenant colonel, because he was a regular, and
because he possessed over Mannix—after six years of freedom—an absolute and
unquestioned authority. Mannix would have hated any battalion commander, had he
the benignity of Santa Claus, and Culver, listening to Mannix's frequently
comical but often too audible complaints, as just now, was kept in a constant
state of mild suspense—half amusement, half horror. Culver settled himself
against the tree. Apparently there was nothing, for the moment at least, that he
could do. Above him an airplane droned through the stillness. A truck grumbled
across the clearing, carrying a group of languid hospital corpsmen, was gone;MBT Scarpe Outlet  around him the
men lay against their packs in crumpled attitudes of sleep. A heavy drowsiness
came over him, and he let his eyes slide closed. Suddenly he yearned, with all
of the hunger of a schoolboy in a classroom on a May afternoon, to be able to
collapse into slumber. For the three days they had been on the problem he had
averaged only four hours of sleep a night— almost none last night—and gratefully
he knew he'd be able to sleep this evening. He began to doze, dreaming fitfully
of home, of white cottages, of a summer by the sea. Long walk tonight. And his
eyes snapped open then —on what seemed to be the repeated echo,MBT Prezzi  from afar, of that
faint anguished shriek he had heard before—in the horrid remembrance that there
would be no sleep tonight. For anyone at all. Only a few seconds had passed.

"Long walk tonight," the voice repeated. Culver stared upward through a
dazzling patchwork of leaves and light to see the broad pink face of Sergeant
O'Leary, smiling down.

"Christ, O'Leary," he said, "don't remind me."

The Sergeant, still grinning, gestured with his shoulder in the direction of
the operations tent. "The Colonel's really got a wild hair, ain't he?" He
chuckled and reached down and clutched one of his feet, MBT Scarpe Prezzi with an
elaborate groan.

Culver abruptly felt cloaked in a gloom that was almost tangible, and he was
in no mood to laugh. "You'll be really holding that foot tomorrow morning," he
said, "and that's no joke."

The grin persisted. "Ah, Mister Culver," O'Leary said, "don't take it so
hard. It's just a little walk through the night. It'll be over before you know
it." He paused, prodding with his toe at the pine needles. "Say," he went on,
"what's this I heard about some short rounds down in Third Batt?"

"I don't know from nothing, O'Leary. I just read the papers." Another truck
came by, loaded with corpsmen, followed by a jeep in which sat the helmeted
Major Lawrence, a look of sulky arrogance on his face, his arms folded at his
chest like a legionnaire riding through a conquered city. "But from what I
understand," Culver went on, turning back, Scarpe MBT "quite a few guys got
hurt."
