Goldstein knew how to read, howeverRidges balked at the idea of breaking some law out of the vast mysterious world of books and newspapersPa use' to say somethin' about givin' a man water when he's sick, Ridges thoughtBut he couldn't remember"How you feel, boy?" he asked doubtfully
"You gotta gimme water
Ridges shook his head once moreWilson had led a life full of sin and now he was in the fires of hellIf a man ended up a sinner, his punishment was certainly terribleBut the Lord Christ died for pore sinners, Ridges told himselfIt was also a sin not to show a man some mercy
"Ah s'pose y' can have itHe took out his canteen quietly and glanced at Goldstein againHe didn't want to be reprimanded by him"Here, you jus' drink it gucci bags for ladies up
Wilson drank febrilely, the water splattering out of his mouth to trickle down his chin, wetting the collar of his shirt He drank lavishly, eagerly, his throat working with lust"You're a good sonofabitch," he mumbledSome water caught in his throat, and he coughed violently, wiping the blood from his chin with a nervous furtive motionRidges watched a droplet of it which Wilson had missedSlowly it spread out over the moist surface of Wilson's cheek, faded through progressive shades of pink
"Y' think Ah'm gonna make it?" Wilson asked Ridges felt a shiverA preacher had once given a sermon about the way a man resisted the fires of hell"Y' cain't avoid it, you're gonna get caught if you're a sinner," he had saidRidges was telling vintage fendi bag a lie now, but nevertheless he repeated it"Shore you're gonna be awright, Wilson
"That's what Ah figgered
Goldstein put his palms against the ground, forced himself upward slowlyHe wanted so very much to remain lying on the ground"I suppose we ought to go," he said wistfullyThey harnessed themselves again to the litter and trudged forward
"You're a good bunch of men, they ain't anybody better'n you two menAt the moment, still enmeshed in the first pangs of setting out again, they hated him
"It's all right," Goldstein said

Now it bothered Ridges more than GoldsteinHe had not thought very much about the agony of the march; it was something he had assumed was natural, perhaps a little more extreme than any work he had ever done, but he had learned when he was very young that work was what a man did with most of his day and it was pointless to wish to do anything elseIf it was uncomfortable, if it was painful, there was nothing you could do about itHe had been given the job and he was going to do itBut now for the first time he hated it genuinelyPerhaps there had been too many fatigue-products, perhaps the cumulative labor had dissolved and reshaped the structures of his cartier women's watches mind, but in any case he was wretched with this work, and as a corollary he understood suddenly that he had always hated the drudgery of his farm work, the unending monotonous struggle against an arid unyielding soil
It was too much of a realization; he had to retreat from itAnd that was not difficultHe was not accustomed to threshing out a solution with his mind, and now he was too blunted, too completely tiredThe thought had come into his head, exploded, and shaken a great many patterns, but the smoke had cleared quickly, and there was nothing now but a vague uncomfortable sense of some wreckage, some changeA few minutes later he was merely uneasy; he knew he had thought something sacrilegious, but what it was he could not bay bag chloe gues
