039"All right." "So long," I said. "I have to go too." It was a quarter to six by the clock inside the bar. "Ciaou, Ettore." "Ciaou, Fred," said Ettore. "That's pretty fine you're going to get the silver medal." "I don't know I'll get it." "You'll get it all right, Fred. I heard you were going to get it all right." "Well, so long," I said. "Keep out of trouble, Ettore." "Don't worry about me. I don't drink and I don't run around. I'm no boozer and whorehound. I know what's good for me." "So long," I said. "I'm glad you're going to be promoted captain." "I don't have to wait to be promoted. I'm going to be a captain for merit of war. You know. Three stars with the crossed swords and crown above. That's me." "Good luck." "Good luck. When you going back to the front?" "Pretty soon." "Well, I'll see you around." "So long." "So long. Don't take any bad nickels." I walked on down a back Street that led to a cross-cut to the hospital. Ettore was twenty-three. He had been brought up by an uncle in San Francisco and was visiting his father and mother in Torino when war was declared. He had a sister, who had been sent to America with him at the same time to live with the uncle, who would graduate from normal school this year. He was a legitimate hero who bored every one he met. Catherine could not stand him. "We have heroes too," she said. "But usually, darling, they're much quieter." "I don't mind him." "I wouldn't mind him if he wasn't so conceited and didn't bore me, and bore me, and bore me." "He bores me." "You're sweet to say so, darling. But you don't need to. You can picture him at the front and you know he's useful but he's so much the type of boy I don't care for." "I know." "You're awfully sweet to know, and I try and like him but he's a dreadful, dreadful boy really." "He said this afternoon he was going to be a captain." "I'm glad," said Catherine. "That should please him." "Wouldn't you like me to have some more exalted rank?" "No, darling. I only want you to have enough rank so that we're admitted to the better restaurants." "That's just the rank I have." "You have a splendid rank. I don't want you to have any more rank. It might go to your head. Oh, darling, I'm awfully glad you're not conceited. I'd have married you even if you were conceited but it's very restful to have a husband who's not conceited." We were talking softly out on the balcony. The moon was supposed to rise but there was a mist over the town and it did not come up and in a little while it started to drizzle and we came in. Outside the mist turned to rain and in a little while it was raining hard and we heard it drumming on the roof. I got up and stood at the door to see if it was raining in but it wasn't, so I left the door open. "Who else did you see?" Catherine asked. "Mr. and Mrs. Meyers." "They're a strange lot." "He's supposed to have been in the penitentiary at home. They let him out to die." "And he lived happily in Milan forever after." "I don't know how happily." "Happily enough after jail I should think." "She's bringing some things here." "She brings splendid things. Were you her dear boy?" "One of them." "You are all her dear boys," Catherine said. "She prefers the dear boys. Listen to it rain." "It's raining hard." "And you'll always love me, won't you?" "Yes." "And the rain won't make any difference?"cheap china mp3 players I9 V3 Quad Band Dual Card With Java Bluetooth Unlocked Cell Phone TV JC777S Quad Band Dual Card With Bluetooth Unlocked Cell Phone 5 pics New Silicon Folding USB HUB Mouse Pad -USB 1.1 Wireless mouse Laptop Battery Replacement for SONY VAIO PCG-FR102, VAIO PCG-FR105 11.5 Inch TFT Screen Car DVD With Analog TV+Stereo Speaker +Game wholesale laptop covers china fhone c5000 cell phone 4.3-inch TFT screen GPS Includ Genuine Map electronics wholesale from china 1080P Full HD Media Player free shipping china cell phones cheapest mp3 players cheap phone tv fhone mini iphone g10 7 inch touch screen car mp5 High Fidelity Over-the-Head Headphone 3.0 inch TFT 2GB MP5 with Mp3/Mp4 Function cheap phone free shipping Anycool T808 Quad Band Dual Card Dual Bluetooth With FM Unlocked Phone bushnell 3-9x40eg 1GB Slim MP4 Player With FM Radio And 3.5-inch 16:9 TFT LCD Screen 15 touch screen speakers camera cheapest touch screen phone PC Camera - 16Megapixels - Microphone 3.5 inch 4gb psp mp4 rocker game digital player Camouflage colour Back Cover for iPhone V805 Quad Band Dual Card With Wifi Java TV Unlocked Cell Phone 2GB MP3 player with FM OLED LCD USB 2.0 connector Built-in lithium battery Empire Strapless Short / Mini Dresses on Sale / Cocktail Dresses eg120 Cute Cartoon Panda Webcam,Drive Free,8.0Megapixel Sciphone 3G I68 Quad Band Single Card With Java Unlocked Cell Phone Free Shipping china baby n95 Fashionable Acryl Photo Frame 8gb tft touch screen mp4 player camera fm mp3 buy china phone buy cell phones online E71 Quad-band Dual Card with Bluetooth Unlocked Cell Phone Car Alarm System ,Easy To Handle With Voice Indication 3.5-inch LCD Car Dash Board Monitor With Parking Sensor And Camera free shipping china phones china mobile mp3 player chinese touch screen mp3 players mp3 wholesalers chinese tv's for sale "No." "That's good. Because I'm afraid of the rain." "Why?" I was sleepy. Outside the rain was falling steadily. "I don't know, darling. I've always been afraid of the rain." "I like it." "I like to walk in it. But it's very hard on loving." "I'll love you always." "I'll love you in the rain and in the snow and in the hail and-- what else is there?"
