The phone rang, and Hearn picked it upThe voice... The phone rang, and Hearn picked it upThe voice at the other end spluttered at him"This is Paragon Red, negative report from 0030 to 0130 Hearn hung up, and stared at the message he had scribbled on a padIt was a completely automatic report which was phoned in every hour from every battalionOn an ordinary night fifty such reports would come inHe picked up his pencil, about to mark it in the Journal, when Dalleson stepped into the tentStacey, the clerk, who had been drowsing over his magazine, straightened upDalleson's hair had been been quickly combed, and his heavy face was reddened from sleep; he looked inquiringly about the tent, his eyes blinking from the light"Everything okay?" he askedHe realized suddenly that Dalleson had awakened worrying about the campaign and it amused him
"I heard the phone

"Did you record it yet?"
"No, sir
"Well, then do it, man
Hearn had recorded few reports in the Journal and he looked at the preceding one to check on the form
Dalleson walked toward him, and examined the Journal, fingering the spring clip on the beaverboard"Let's do it more neatly next time
He'd be damned if Dalleson would lecture him like a child"I'll do my best, Major," he murmured sarcastically

"Damn if I knowThis isn't the work I've been doing
"Well, now, I'll tell you," Dalleson said with relish"If you'll get the cobwebs off your brain you'll know that this is a Combat Report, so after you mark it in the Journal and on the map, you put it in the file for my Periodic Report, and when I'm done with it, which'll be tomorrow, you empty the file of the previous day, and put it in the Historical File, and you have one of the clerks make a copy and put it in the Journal FileNothing too hard about that for a man with a college education, is there, Hearn?"
Hearn shrugged"Since the report doesn't say anything, why go to all that bother?" He grinned, enjoying the opportunity to lash back"It doesn't make much sense

Dalleson was enragedHe glowered at Hearn, his jowls darkening, his mouth pressed thin by the powerful clamps of his jawsA first trickle of sweat slid past his eye and outlined his cheek"It doesn't make sense to you, eh," he repeated, "it doesn't make sense to you Like a shot-put hurler hopping on one foot to increase his momentum, Dalleson turned to Stacey and said, "It doesn't make sense to Lieutenant Hearn Stacey tittered uncomfortably, while Dalleson balanced on an infuriated sarcasm"Well, now, I'll tell you, Lieutenant, maybe there's a lot of things that don't make sense, maybe it don't make sense for me to be a soldier," he sneered, "maybe it ain't natural for you to be an officer, maybe it don't make sense," he said, repeating the original phrase"Maybe I'd rather be anything else than a
