Douglass and Grant seated as though carrying on a conversation.) Grant. Your story interests me very much, Lieutenant, and almost makes me wish I had been a soldier instead of a news vending newsy old war correspondent. Lt. Douglass. You would change your mind once you were in the army, for it´s a dog´s life on beginning, but once you´ve tasted of its delicate and none too digestible flavor, nothing else seems to suit your palate. Grant. But you have no right to complain, fortune has been kind to you. You´re second in command in your company, with the full confidence of your commander, and the good will of your men. Lt. Douglass. Through your spectacles all seems plain sailing, but an officer has more to disturb his peace of mind than his superiors´ distrust with the enmity of his men thrown in. Grant. Perhaps so, in some cases. Lt. Douglass. In all cases, and more especially mine. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
