Read the excerpt from Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms. The major asked
me to have a drink with him and
two other officers. We drank rum and it was very friendly.
Outside it was getting dark. asked what time the attack was to be and they said
as soon as it was dark. I went
back to the drivers. They were sitting in the dugout talking and when I came in
they stopped. I gave them each
package of cigarettes, Macedonias, loosely packed cigarettes that spilled tobacco and needed to have
the
ends twisted before you smoked them. Manera lit his lighter and
passed it around. The lighter was shaped like
a Fiat radiator. I told them what I had heard.
