CHAPTER XV
Polack said: "A lousy unfair
war.”
Bill said: "Le's go to bed.”
So they went to bed. Polack heard
Chuck crying in his bedroll, and he
said: "Smatter, Chuck, feel sick?''
Chuck sobbed: "Hell of a war.”
Polack said. “Yeah, hell of a war.
Chuck, go to sleep.”
When Major Joppolo arrived at his
office next morning, two visitors
were waiting for him. One was
Quattrocchi, owner of the house
where Chuck. Hill and Polack were
billeted.
But Quattrocchi had to
wait, because the other was Lord
Runcin, one of the Amgot higher-
ups. The Allied Military Govern­
ment was, and still is. a joint Brit­
ish American affair, and as in the
higher echelons of the military com­
mand, American and British offi­
cers were sandwiched in with each
other. Lord Runcin was near the
top.
Lord Runcin was a man of about
fifty. He had wavy blonde hair and
bright eyes which seldom looked
straight at whoever he was talking
with. He took snuff. Aside from
the fact that he had a purely colo­
nial point of view toward the Ital­
ians, he was considered to be a pret­
ty good man tor Amgot. Not the
least of his attributes was his en­
ergy. On this particular morning, it
was only five minutes past eight,
and yet Lord Runcin had been on
the road since six thirty, had taken
breakfast on American rations in a
wheat field, and had been waiting
patiently for his Amgot representa­
tive in Adano for fifteen minutes
He was making a round of inter­
views, to try to pick up the best ex­
amples of Amgot work from each of
the occupied towns
Major Joppolo showed him Into
his office. "Wizard quarters," His
Lordship said
Lord Runcin affect­
ed the slang of his subordinates, but
he always seemed to use American
slang when talking to his British
men, and vice versa, so that many
of them understood very little of
what he said
This was the first time Major
Joppolo had ever had a tete a tete
with a real honest to goodness Lord­
ship He was surprised to find him
wearing shorts and an open collar
and no hat at all. Ills Lordship's
deferential manner, as he sat on
the other side of the Major's desk
asking questions, made Major Jop­
polo, who had once been a clerk in
the Sanitation Department of New
York City, feel quite important.
By way of making conversation.
His Lordship pointed a thumb in
Quattrocchis direction and said:
"Your Italian friend is in quite a
flap.”
The former Sanitation
"What was that,
that.”
"Never mind." said His Lordship
"Well, what kind of a job have you
been doing here. Joppolo?”
The former Sanitation clerk said:
"Well, I've been doing ull right."
"Doing all right, eh?” His Lord­
ship smiled and made a note of the
expression in his notebook, for fu­
ture use ’ What are the best tilings
