"Well, let's have it as soon as possible," said Shorty. "I'm anxious to see if we can't make another Mission Ridge over there at Buzzard Roost, and run them fellers clean back to the Gulf of Mexico. But, great Jehosephat, won't there be a Spring freshet when all them men and horses and cattle break camp and start out over the country." "Yours, Shorty."
TWO:While this was going on, the boys were imitating Shorty's example, getting their guns loaded, and banging away as fast as they did so into the rebels, who went down under the shots, or ran off, leaving one of their number, a tall, lank mountaineer, who seemed beside himself with rage. He had grasped his empty gun by the stock, and was swinging it around his head, yelling fierce insults and defiance to the whole race o' Yankees.

TWO:Si paced up. His gun was loaded, and he could have easily brought the rebel down. But the rebel's devotion to his partner touched him."It is terrible," Dodd said. "It'sthey're people, just like us. They have a right to their own lives."
TWO:"Great Jehosephat, you didn't let me git more'n a spoonful. But where are the boys?""But what'll they say about us in camp?" groaned Si. "They'll have the grand laugh on me and you, and every one o' the boys. I'd ruther go on quarter rations for a month than stand the riggin' they'll give us, and have Capt. McGillicuddy give me one look when he asks the question about how we come to lose all our rations so soon? He'll think me a purty Sarjint to send out into the country in charge o' men, and you a fine Corpril."
"Nothin', I believe," answered Shorty. "But hold the boys and I'll go out and see."At least that was what it seemed to him. He did not exactly know what homesickness was from personal experience, as he had never really had a home. But he had seen thousands of boys more or less affected by that obscure but stubborn and dangerous malady, and had noted their symptoms, which strongly resembled his own.In the corridor she took one deep breath and then another.Shorty winked appreciatively at Serg't Elkins. blessin's ov helth, and the konsolashuns ov religion."
