I　walked　on　down　a　back　Street　that　led　to　a　cross…cut　to　the　hospital。　Ettore　was　twenty…three。　He　had　been　brought　up　by　an　uncle　in　San　Francisco　and　was　visiting　his　father　and　mother　in　Torino　when　war　was　declared。　He　had　a　sister；　who　had　been　sent　to　America　with　him　at　the　same　time　to　live　with　the　uncle；　who　would　graduate　from　normal　school　this　year。　He　was　a　legitimate　hero　who　bored　every　one　he　met。　Catherine　could　not　stand　him。

〃We　have　heroes　too；〃　she　said。　〃But　usually；　darling；　theyre　much　quieter。〃

〃I　dont　mind　him。〃

〃I　wouldnt　mind　him　if　he　wasnt　so　conceited　and　didnt　bore　me；　and　bore　me；　and　bore　me。〃

〃He　bores　me。〃

〃Youre　sweet　to　say　so；　darling。　But　you　dont　need　to。　You　can　picture　him　at　the　front　and　you　know　hes　useful　but　hes　so　much　the　type　of　boy　I　dont　care　for。〃

〃I　know。〃

〃Youre　awfully　sweet　to　know；　and　I　try　and　like　him　but　hes　a　dreadful；　dreadful　boy　really。〃

〃He　said　this　afternoon　he　was　going　to　be　a　captain。〃

〃Im　glad；〃　said　Catherine。　〃That　should　please　him。〃

〃Wouldnt　you　like　me　to　have　some　more　exalted　rank？〃

〃No；　darling。　I　only　want　you　to　have　enough　rank　so　that　were　admitted　to　the　better　restaurants。〃

〃Thats　just　the　rank　I　have。〃

〃You　have　a　splendid　rank。　I　dont　want　you　to　have　any　more　rank。　It　might　go　to　your　head。　Oh；　darling；　Im　awfully　glad　youre　not　conceited。　Id　have　married　you　even　if　you　were　conceited　but　its　very　restful　to　have　a　husband　whos　not　conceited。〃

We　were　talking　softly　out　on　the　balcony。　The　moon　was　supposed　to　rise　but　there　was　a　mist　over　the　town　and　it　did　not　e　up　and　in　a　little　while　it　started　to　drizzle　and　we　came　in。　Outside　the　mist　turned　to　rain　and　in　a　little　while　it　was　raining　hard　and　we　heard　it　drumming　on　the　roof。　I　got　up　and　stood　at　the　door　to　see　if　it　was　raining　in　but　it　wasnt；　so　I　left　the　door　open。

〃Who　else　did　you　see？〃　Catherine　asked。

〃Mr。　and　Mrs。　Meyers。〃

〃Theyre　a　strange　lot。〃

〃Hes　supposed　to　have　been　in　the　penitentiary　at　home。　They　let　him　out　to　die。〃

〃And　he　lived　happily　in　Milan　forever　after。〃

〃I　dont　know　how　happily。〃

〃Happily　enough　after　jail　I　should　think。〃

〃Shes　bringing　some　things　here。〃
