〃Two hours and a half。〃
〃Did I say anything silly？〃
〃Not a thing。 Don't talk。 Just be quiet。〃
I was sick and Catherine was right。 It did not make any difference who was on night duty。
There were three other patients in the hospital now； a thin boy in the Red Cross from Georgia with malaria； a nice boy； also thin； from New York； with malaria and jaundice； and a fine boy who had tried to unscrew the fuse…cap from a bination shrapnel and high explosive shell for a souvenir。 This was a shrapnel shell used by the Austrians in the mountains with a nose…cap which went on after the burst and exploded on contact。
Catherine Barkley was greatly liked by the nurses because she would do night duty indefinitely。 She had quite a little work with the malaria people； the boy who had unscrewed the nose…cap was a friend of ours and never rang at night； unless it was necessary but between the times of working we were together。 I loved her very much and she loved me。 I slept in the daytime and we wrote notes during the day when we were awake and sent them by Ferguson。 Ferguson was a fine girl。 I never learned anything about her except that she had a brother in the Fifty…Second Division and a brother in Mesopotamia and she was very good to Catherine Barkley。
〃Will you e to our wedding； Fergy？〃 I said to her once。
〃You'll never get married。〃
〃We will。〃
〃No you won't。〃
〃Why not？〃
〃You'll fight before you'll marry。〃
