We　sat　down　on　a　bench　and　I　looked　at　her。

〃You　have　beautiful　hair；〃　I　said。

〃Do　you　like　it？〃

〃Very　much。〃

〃I　was　going　to　cut　it　all　off　when　he　died。〃

〃No。〃

〃I　wanted　to　do　something　for　him。　You　see　I　didnt　care　about　the　other　thing　and　he　could　have　had　it　all。　He　could　have　had　anything　he　wanted　if　I　would　have　known。　I　would　have　married　him　or　anything。　I　know　all　about　it　now。　But　then　he　wanted　to　go　to　war　and　I　didnt　know。〃

I　did　not　say　anything。

〃I　didnt　know　about　anything　then。　I　thought　it　would　be　worse　for　him。　I　thought　perhaps　he　couldnt　stand　it　and　then　of　course　he　was　killed　and　that　was　the　end　of　it。〃

〃I　dont　know。〃

〃Oh；　yes；〃　she　said。　〃Thats　the　end　of　it。〃

We　looked　at　Rinaldi　talking　with　the　other　nurse。

〃What　is　her　name？〃

〃Ferguson。　Helen　Ferguson。　Your　friend　is　a　doctor；　isnt　he？〃

〃Yes。　Hes　very　good。〃

〃Thats　splendid。　You　rarely　find　any　one　any　good　this　close　to　the　front。　This　is　close　to　the　front；　isnt　it？〃

〃Quite。〃

〃Its　a　silly　front；〃　she　said。　〃But　its　very　beautiful。　Are　they　going　to　have　an　offensive？〃

〃Yes。〃

〃Then　well　have　to　work。　Theres　no　work　now。〃

〃Have　you　done　nursing　long？〃

〃Since　the　end　of　fifteen。　I　started　when　he　did。　I　remember　having　a　silly　idea　he　might　e　to　the　hospital　where　I　was。　With　a　sabre　cut；　I　suppose；　and　a　bandage　around　his　head。　Or　shot　through　the　shoulder。　Something　picturesque。〃

〃This　is　the　picturesque　front；〃　I　said。

〃Yes；〃　she　said。　〃People　cant　realize　what　France　is　like。　If　they　did；　it　couldnt　all　go　on。　He　didnt　have　a　sabre　cut。　They　blew　him　all　to　bits。〃

I　didnt　say　anything。

〃Do　you　suppose　it　will　always　go　on？〃

〃No。〃

〃Whats　to　stop　it？〃

〃It　will　crack　somewhere。〃

〃Well　crack。　Well　crack　in　France。　They　cant　go　on　doing　things　like　the　Somme　and　not　crack。〃

〃They　wont　crack　here；〃　I　said。

〃You　think　not？〃

〃No。　They　did　very　well　last　summer。〃
