He and the loud one came near to fighting over it. A corporal began to swear before the assemblage. He had just put a costly board floor in his house, he said. During the early spring he had refrained from adding extensively to the comfort of his environment because he had felt that the army might start on the march at any moment. Of late, how - ever, he had been impressed 9 that they were in a sort of eter - nal camp. Many of the men engaged in a spirited debate.
