Chapter II
“Hot!” he said, as if amiably. The flame sprang out of the orderly’s heart, nearly suffocating him. “Yes, sir,” he replied, between shut teeth. And he heard the sound of the Captain’s drinking, and he clenched his fists, such a strong torment came into his wrists. Then came the faint clang of the closing of the pot-lid.
