Didn't nobody see nothin' o' little Skidmore? savagely repeated Shorty, walking back to the works and scanning the country round.
gpt
Was you all so blamed anxious lookin' out for yourselves that you didn't pay no attention to that little boy? Nice gang, you are.
human
Orderly, take the company back into the abatis, and look for the boys,
gpt
commanded the Orderly.
human
Stack arms! Right face--Break ranks--March!
gpt
Hello, boys,
human
Great heavens! he's bin shot through the bowels? thought Si, turning toward him with sickening apprehension of this most dreaded of wounds. Then, aloud, with forced cheerfulness--
gpt
I hope you ain't hurt bad, Monty.
human
I was hurt bad enough, the Lord knows, answered the boy with a wan smile.
gpt
I hain't been hurt so bad since I stubbed by sore toe last Summer. But I'm getting over it pretty fast. Just as I started up the bank a rebel threw a stone as big as my fist at me, and it took me square where I live. I thought at first that whole battery over there in the fort had shot at me all at once. Goodness, but it hurt! My, but that fellow could throw a stone! Seemed to me that it went clear into me, and bent my back-bone. I've been feeling to see if it wasn't bent. But we got the works all right, didn't we?
human
You bet we did, Si answered exultantly.
gpt
Licked the stuffin' out of 'em. Awful glad you're no worse hurt, Monty. Make your way inside there, and you'll find the Surgeon. He'll bring you around all right. We're goin' to look for the other boys.
human
Alf Russell caught a bullet, said Monty Scruggs.
gpt
I heard him yell, and turned to look at him, when that rebel's bowlder gave me something else to think about, so I don't know where he is.
human
Gid Mackall's lying over there, somewhere, said Larry Joslyn, who was all anxiety in regard to his old partner and antagonist.
gpt
Let me go and find him.
human
Go ahead, said Si, helping Monty to his feet.
gpt
I'll be right with you.
