〃It's　time　to　roll；〃　I　said　and　stood　up。

〃Who　are　you　going　to　ride　with；　Tenehte？〃　Bonello　asked。

〃With　Aymo。　Then　you　e。　Then　Piani。　We'll　start　out　on　the　road　for　Cormons。〃

〃I'm　afraid　I'll　go　to　sleep；〃　Piani　said。

〃All　right。　I'll　ride　with　you。　Then　Bonello。　Then　Aymo。〃

〃That's　the　best　way；〃　Piani　said。　〃Because　I'm　so　sleepy。〃

〃I'll　drive　and　you　sleep　awhile。〃

〃No。　I　can　drive　just　so　long　as　I　know　somebody　will　wake　me　up　if　I　go　to　sleep。〃

〃I'll　wake　you　up。　Put　out　the　lights；　Barto。〃

〃You　might　as　well　leave　them；〃　Bonello　said。　〃We've　got　no　more　use　for　this　place。〃

〃I　have　a　small　locker　trunk　in　my　room；〃　I　said。　〃Will　you　help　take　it　down；　Piani？〃

〃We'll　take　it；〃　Piani　said。　〃e　on；　Aldo。〃　He　went　off　into　the　hall　with　Bonello。　I　heard　them　going　upstairs。

〃This　was　a　fine　place；〃　Bartolomeo　Aymo　said。　He　put　two　bottles　of　wine　and　half　a　cheese　into　his　haversack。　〃There　won't　be　a　place　like　this　again。　Where　will　they　retreat　to；　Tenente？〃

〃Beyond　the　Tagliamento；　they　say。　The　hospital　and　the　sector　are　to　be　at　Pordenone。〃

〃This　is　a　better　town　than　Pordenone。〃

〃I　don't　know　Pordenone；〃　I　said。　〃I've　just　been　through　there。〃

〃It's　not　much　of　a　place；〃　Aymo　said。
