Product Description
Excerpt from Little Comrade: A Tale of the Great War
Both were a little sad, for this was their last meal together. Though they had known each other less than a fortnight, they had become fast friends. They had been thrown together by chance at the 'surgical congress at Vienna, where Bloem, finding the American's German lame and halting, had con stituted himself a sort of interpreter, and Stewart had reciprocated by polishing away some of the roughnesses and Teutonic involutions of Bloem's formal English.
