The boy still could not believe this. So they were at last going to fight. Tomorrow, perhaps, there would be a battle, and he would be in it. He had, of course, dreamed of battles all his life—of (festant and bloody conflicts that had thrilled him with their greatness. In visions he had seen himself in many fights. But awake he had seen battles as just marks on the pages of the past. He had wanted several times to fight in the war in his own country. He had read of marches, conflicts, and he had wanted to see it all. But his mother had discouraged him. She did not understand his excitement. She could calmly seat herself and with no difficulty give him many hundreds of reasons why he was morę important on the farm than on the field of battle. However, the newspapers, the gossip of the village, his own imagination had intensified his emotions. One night, as he lay in bed, he had heard the voices of people happily talking about a great battle. These voices had madę him shake in an ecstasy of excitement. Later, he had gone down to his mother's room and had said: "Ma, Fm going to enlist." "Henry, don't you be a fool," his mother had replied. There was an end to the matter for that night. But the next morning he had gone to a town that was near his mother's farm and had enlisted in a company that was forming there. When he returned home his mother was milking one of the cows. "Ma, I've enlisted," he had said to her shyly. There was a short silence. "Everything is in the hands of the Lord, Henry," she had finally replied, and had then continued to milk the cow. When he had stood in the doorway with his soldier's clothes on his back, and with the light of excitement in his eyes almost taking control over the regret for the memories of home, he had seen two tears on his mother's cheeks. Still, she had disappointed him by saying nothing whatever about his returning in glory. He had expected a beautiful scenę. He had prepared certain sentences which he thought could be used with touching effect. But her words destroyed his plans. She had been busy peeling potatoes and addressed him as follows: "You watch out, Henry, and take good care of yourself in this fighting business." "I've knitted you eight pair of socks, Henry, and I've put in all your best shirts, because I want my boy to be just as warm and comfortable as anybody in the army." "I've put a cup of blackberry jam with your clothes, because I know you like it above all things. Goodbye, Henry. Watch out, and be a good boy." He had, of course, been impatient during her speech. It had not been ąuite what he expected, and he had listened to it with some irritation. He left feeling a kind of relief. Still, when he had looked back from the gate, he had seen his mother kneeling among the potato skins. Her brown face was covered with tears, and she was shaking. He bowed his head and went on, feeling suddenly ashamed of his plans.
