Thank

Noise
of
a
growing
stir
rose
from
the
lobby
below
.
It
was
almost
lunchtime
,
and
the
earliest
arrivals
were
drifting
into
the
headquarters
mess
halls
,
the
enlisted
men
and
officers
separating
into
different
dining
halls
on
facing
sides
of
the
archaic
rotunda
.
Colonel
Korn
stopped
smiling
.
"
You
had
lunch
with
us
here
just
a
day
or
so
ago
,
didn
t
you
,
Father
?
"
he
asked
meaningfully
.

"
Yes
,
sir
.
The
day
before
yesterday
.
"
"
That
s
what
I
thought
,
"
Colonel
Korn
said
,
and
paused
to
let
his
point
sink
in
.
"
Well
,
take
it
easy
,
Father
.
I
ll
see
you
around
when
it
s
time
for
you
to
eat
here
again
.
"
"
Thank
you
,
sir

The
chaplain
was
not
certain
at
which
of
the
five
officers
"
and
five
enlisted
men
s
mess
halls
he
was
scheduled
to
have
lunch
that
day
,
for
the
system
of
rotation
worked
out
for
him
by
Colonel
Korn
was
complicated
,
and
he
had
forgotten
his
records
back
in
his
tent
.
The
chaplain
was
the
only
officer
attached
to
Group
Headquarters
who
did
not
reside
in
the
moldering
red
-
stone
Group
Headquarters
building
itself
or
in
any
of
the
smaller
satellite
structures
that
rose
about
the
grounds
in
disjuncted
relationship
.
The
chaplain
lived
in
a
clearing
in
the
woods
about
four
miles
away
between
the
officers
"
club
and
the
first
of
the
four
squadron
areas
that
stretched
away
from
Group
Headquarters
in
a
distant
line
.
The
chaplain
lived
alone
in
a
spacious
,
square
tent
that
was
also
his
office
.
Sounds
of
revelry
traveled
to
him
at
night
from
the
officers
"
club
and
kept
him
awake
often
as
he
turned
and
tossed
on
his
cot
in
passive
,
half
-
voluntary
exile
.
He
was
not
able
to
gauge
the
effect
of
the
mild
pills
he
took
occasionally
to
help
him
sleep
and
felt
guilty
about
it
for
days
afterward
.

The
only
one
who
lived
with
the
chaplain
in
his
clearing
in
the
woods
was
Corporal
Whitcomb
,
his
assistant
.
Corporal
Whitcomb
,
an
atheist
,
was
a
disgruntled
subordinate
who
felt
he
could
do
the
chaplain
s
job
much
better
than
the
chaplain
was
doing
it
and
viewed
himself
,
therefore
,
as
an
underprivileged
victim
of
social
inequity
.
He
lived
in
a
tent
of
his
own
as
spacious
and
square
as
the
chaplain
s
.
He
was
openly
rude
and
contemptuous
to
the
chaplain
once
he
discovered
that
the
chaplain
would
let
him
get
away
with
it
.
The
borders
of
the
two
tents
in
the
clearing
stood
no
more
than
four
or
five
feet
apart
.
It
was
Colonel
Korn
who
had
mapped
out
this
way
of
life
for
the
chaplain
.
One
good
reason
for
making
the
chaplain
live
outside
the
Group
Headquarters
building
was
Colonel
Korn
s
theory
that
dwelling
in
a
tent
as
most
of
his
parishioners
did
would
bring
him
into
closer
communication
with
them
.
Another
good
reason
was
the
fact
that
having
the
chaplain
around
Headquarters
all
the
time
made
the
other
officers
uncomfortable
.
It
was
one
thing
to
maintain
liaison
with
the
Lord
,
and
they
were
all
in
favor
of
that
;
it
was
something
else
,
though
,
to
have
Him
hanging
around
twenty
-
four
hours
a
day
.
All
in
all
,
as
Colonel
Korn
described
it
to
Major
Danby
,
the
jittery
and
goggle
-
eyed
group
operations
officer
,
the
chaplain
had
it
pretty
soft
;
he
had
little
more
to
do
than
listen
to
the
troubles
of
others
,
bury
the
dead
,
visit
the
bedridden
and
conduct
religious
services
.
And
there
were
not
so
many
dead
for
him
to
bury
any
more
,
Colonel
Korn
pointed
out
,
since
opposition
from
German
fighter
planes
had
virtually
ceased
and
since
close
to
ninety
per
cent
of
what
fatalities
there
still
were
,
he
estimated
,
perished
behind
the
enemy
lines
or
disappeared
inside
the
clouds
,
where
the
chaplain
had
nothing
to
do
with
disposing
of
the
remains
.
The
religious
services
were
certainly
no
great
strain
,
either
,
since
they
were
conducted
only
once
a
week
at
the
Group
Headquarters
building
and
were
attended
by
very
few
of
the
men
.
