In our Time by Ernest Hemingway, Chapter one. Everybody was drunk. The
0:07
whole battery was drunk, going along the road in the dark. We were
0:11
going to the Champagne. The lieutenant kept riding his horse out into the fields
0:16
and sang to him, I'm drunk, I tell you, mon vool oh,
0:20
I am so soused. We went along the road all night in the
0:24
dark, and the adjutant kept riding up alongside my kitchen and saying, you
0:28
must put it out. It is dangerous. It will be observed. We
0:32
were fifty kilometers from the front, but the adjutant worried about the fire in
0:36
my kitchen. It was funny going along that road. That was when I
0:40
was a kitchen corporal. End of chapter one.
