A steel splinter hit me, I guess,
gpt
I should say it did, agreed Leon soberly.
human
It's a lucky thing it didn't hit your eye. How do you feel?
gpt
All right. Pretty weak though.
human
A doctor ought to dress that wound, said Leon.
gpt
You can't leave this place before dark though; it would be sure death to try.
human
Oh, I'm all right enough, said Jacques.
gpt
This is only a scratch.
human
A pretty deep scratch I should say, replied Leon grimly.
gpt
It'll leave a scar as long as you live.
human
What of it?
gpt
It won't help your looks any.
human
What do I care? That scar will always remind me that I did something for France. I shall be proud of it.
gpt
Do you feel any better?
human
A little. I'd like my canteen though.
gpt
What's the matter?
human
I'm hit,
gpt
Where is it?
human
In the shoulder.
gpt
Unbutton your coat and shirt and look at it.
human
That's funny, mused Leon.
gpt
How do you suppose its force became spent so soon?
human
It must have struck something else first.
gpt
I should say it did, he exclaimed.
human
Look here.
