Next they found a wounded artillery horse which had been turned loose from his battery. He was hitched in, and Si and Shorty were laid on the layer of ammunition-boxes which still covered the bottom of the bed."O, no, we don't," said Si patiently, for her ignorance seemed beautifully feminine, where Maria's was provoking.
