〃Here it is a great thing;〃 Aymo said。 〃A bicycle is a splendid thing。〃
〃I wish to Christ we had bicycles;〃 Bonello said。 〃Im no walker。〃
〃Is that firing?〃 I asked。 I thought I could hear firing a long way away。
〃I dont know;〃 Aymo said。 He listened。
〃I think so;〃 I said。
〃The first thing we will see will be the cavalry;〃 Piani said。
〃I dont think theyve got any cavalry。〃
〃I hope to Christ not;〃 Bonello said。 〃I dont want to be stuck on a lance by any……cavalry。〃
〃You certainly shot that sergeant; Tenente;〃 Piani said。 We were walking fast。
〃I killed him;〃 Bonello said。 〃I never killed anybody in this war; and all my life Ive wanted to kill a sergeant。〃
〃You killed him on the sit all right;〃 Piani said。 〃He wasnt flying very fast when you killed him。〃
〃Never mind。 Thats one thing I can always remember。 I killed that……of a sergeant。〃
〃What will you say in confession?〃 Aymo asked。
〃Ill say; Bless me; father; I killed a sergeant。〃 They all laughed。
〃Hes an anarchist;〃 Piani said。 〃He doesnt go to church。〃
〃Pianis an anarchist too;〃 Bonello said。
〃Are you really anarchists?〃 I asked。
〃No; Tenente。 Were socialists。 We e from Imola。〃
〃Havent you ever been there?〃
〃No。〃
〃By Christ its a fine place; Tenente。 You e there after the war and well show you something。〃
〃Are you all socialists?〃
〃Everybody。〃
〃Is it a fine town?〃
〃Wonderful。 You never saw a town like that。〃
〃How did you get to be socialists?〃
〃Were all socialists。 Everybody is a socialist。 Weve always been socialists。〃
〃You e; Tenente。 Well make you a socialist too。〃
Ahead the road turned off to the left and there was a little hill and; beyond a stone wall; an apple orchard。 As the road went uphill they ceased talking。 We walked along together all going fast against time。

Later we were on a road that led to a river。 There was a long line of abandoned trucks and carts on the road leading up to the bridge。 No one was in sight。 The river was high and the bridge had been blown up in the centre; the stone arch was fallen into the river and the brown water was going over it。 We went on up the bank looking for a place to cross。 Up ahead I knew there was a railway bridge and I thought we might be able to get across there。 The path was wet and muddy。 We did not see any troops; only abandoned trucks and stores。 Along the river bank there was nothing and no one but the wet brush and muddy ground。 We went up to the bank and finally we saw the railway bridge。
〃What a beautiful bridge;〃 Aymo said。 It was a long plain iron bridge across what was usually a dry river…bed。
〃Wed better hurry and get across before they blow it up;〃 I said。
