"Shorty, stop talkin' to the boys about gamblin'. I won't have it," commanded Si. "Boys, you mustn't play cards on no account, especially with older men. It's strictly agin orders, besides which I'll break any o' your necks that I ketch at it. You must take care o' your money and send it home. Forward, march."
ONE:"We would be alone," Cadnan said simply. "No master would feed us. We would die.""I shouldn't wonder but he's tellin' the truth," Shorty whispered to Si. "Le's take him back there and see."

THREE:"I stay here," he said, trying to sound as decisive as possible."Come, boys; don't have a scrap, now," pleaded the serious-minded Alf. "Just think how many dead men are lying around. It looks like raising a disturbance at a funeral."

TWO:"Well, I should say there was something to stop for," answered Shorty, as they arrived where they could see, and found the whole country in front swarming with rebel cavalry as far as their eyes could reach.
TWO:Norma headed for her own cubicle, where she ignored the papers and the telephone messages waiting for her and reached for the intercom button instead. She pushed it twice and a voice said:"You little numbskulls," said Si; "why didn't you come to use and tell us about this?"
PUBLIC OPINION THREE"Yes, we have a man who claimed to belong to that regimenta straggler, who hadn't any papers to show. I had no idea whether he was telling the truth. He was outrageously sassy, and I had to give him a lesson to keep a civil tongue in his head. Take a seat. I'll send for him."If the walls obeyed, he might be able to tell them to go.
