the veteran
by stephen crane
out of the low window could be seen three hickory trees placed irregularly in a meadow that
was resplendent in spring - time green. farther away, the old, dismal belfry of the village
church loomed over the pines. a horse, meditating in the shade of one of the hickories, lazily
swished his tail. the warm sunshine made an oblong of vivid yellow on the floor of the
grocery.
could you see the whites of their eyes? said the man, who was seated on a soap box.
nothing of the kind, replied old henry warmly. just a lot of flitting figures, and i let go at
where they peared to be the thickest. bang!
mr. fleming, said the grocer - his deferential voice expressed somehow the old mans
exact social weight - mr. fleming, you never was frightened much in them battles, was
you?
the veteran looked down and grinned. observing his manner, the entire group tittered.
well, i guess i was, he answered finally. pretty well scared, sometimes. why, in my first
battle i thought the sky was falling down. i thought the world was coming to an end. you bet i
was scared.
the battle was, said the old man. i thought they were all shooting at me. yes, sir, i
thought every man in the other army was aiming at me in particular, and only me. and it
seemed so darned unreasonable, you know. i wanted to explain to em what an almighty
good fellow i was, because i thought then they might quit all trying to hit me. but i couldnt
explain, and they kept on being unreasonable - bam! - bam! bang! so i run!
two little triangles of wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes. evidently he appreciated
some comedy in this recital. down near his feet, however, little jim, his grandson, was
visibly horror - stricken. his hands were clasped nervously, and his eyes were wide with
astonishment at this terrible scandal, his most magnificent grandfather telling such a thing
