6:53 pm	@@@@@After half an hour Croft finally brought @@@@@After half an hour Croft finally brought them out, and the ledge widened and crossed the ridgeBeyond was nothing but another deep valley, another precipitous slopeHe led them down to the bottom, and started up the next ascent, but they did not follow himOne by one they sprawled down on the ground, looked at him with blank staring eyes It was almost dark, and he knew he could not drive them any more; they were too exhausted, too frightened, and another accident might occurHe called a halt, giving approval to what was already a fact, and sat down in their midst On the next morning there would be the slope, a few gullies to traverse, and then the main ridge of the mountain to be crossedThey could do it in two or three hours ifif he could stir them againAt that moment he doubted himself seriously The platoon slept poorlyIt was very difficult to find level ground, and of course they were overtired, their limbs too tenseMost of them dreamed and muttered in their sleepTo cap it all, Croft gave them each an hour of guard, and some of them awoke too early and waited nervously for many minutes before going on, found it difficult afterward to fall asleepCroft had been aware of this, knew they needed the extra rest and knew it was virtually impossible there would be any Japanese on the mountain, but he had felt it more important not to break routineRoth's death had temporarily shattered his command, and it was vital to start repairing it Gallagher had the last shiftIt was very cold in the half hour before daylight and he woke up dazed, and sat shuddering in his blanketFor many minutes he was conscious of little, feeling the vast shapes of the mountain range about him as no more than a deeper border to the nightHe only shivered and drowsed, waiting passively for the morning and the heat of the sunA complete lethargy had settled over him, and Roth's death was remoteHe drifted through a stupor, his mind almost inert, dreaming sluggishly of far-gone pleasant things as though deep within him he had to keep a small fire going against the cold of the night, the space of the hills, and the cumulative exhaustion, the mounting deaths of the platoon The dawn came slowly on the mountainAt five o'clock he could see the top of the mountain range clearly as the sky became lighter, but for a long half hour there was little changeActually he could see nothing, but his body contained a tranquil anticipati (Comment on this)

"No," said CatScarlett put her down so she could runThe strong little legs never walked now, always ranThere were ancient hidden irregularities under the grass She got to her feet and ran some moreWatching her was healing for ScarlettIt made her whole again"Colum, who's this man Parnell? People were talking about him at the hunt breakfast, but I couldn't make any sense out of what they were saying A Protestant, said Colum, and an AngloNobody to concern themScarlett wanted to argue but she'd learned it was a waste of timeColum never discussed the English, especially not the English landowners in Ireland, who were known as the Anglo-IrishHe would manage to change the subject before she knew he was doing itIt bothered her that he wouldn't even admit that some of the English might be nice peopleShe'd liked the sisters on the ship from America, and everyone had been nice to her at the huntColum's intransigence made her feel a distance between them If he'd only talk about it instead of snapping her head offFitz the other question that had been on her mindWho were the Irish Butlers that everyone hated so much?
