IN THE MACHINE V

The early sun, carrying into autumn the tradition of a magnificent summer, shone on the artillery1 camps. The four guns of the No. 2 Battery of the Second Brigade were ranged side by side in the vast vague space in front of the officers' hutments. Each gun had six horses in three pairs, and a rider for each pair. On the guns and the gun-teams everything glittered that could glitter—leather, metal, coats of horses, faces of men. Captain Resmith rode round, examining harness and equipment with a microscope that he called his eye. George rode round after him. Sometimes Captain Resmith spoke2 to a N.C.O., sometimes even to a man, but for the most part the men stared straight in front of them into eternity3. Major Craim trotted4 up. Captain Resmith approached the Major and saluted5, saying in his best military voice:
"The Battery is all correct and ready to move off, sir."
The Major in his drawing-room voice replied:
"Thank you, Captain Resmith."
Then Colonel Hullocher and his Adjutant pranced9 into sight. The Adjutant saluted the Major and made an inquiry10. The Major saluted, and all three chatted a little.
George, who had accompanied Captain Resmith into the background, murmured to him, as cautiously as a convict talking at exercise:
"He's got his knife into me."
"Who?"
"The Colonel."
