"The General stopped and made a little pile of winter leaves and twigs in
the darkness, as if he might at any moment strike fire to them to see his way
through the coming days when the sun might not show its face because of
what was happening here and just beyond.
The boy watched the hand stirring the leaves and opened his lips to say
something, but did not say it. The General heard the boy’s breath and spoke
himself.
“Why am I telling you this? That’s what you wanted to ask, eh? Well, when
you got a bunch of wild horses on a loose rein somewhere, somehow you got
to bring order, rein them in. These lads, fresh out of the milkshed, don’t know
what I know, and I can’t tell them: men actually die, in war. So each is his own
army. I got to make one army of them. And for that, boy, I need you.”
“Me!” The boy’s lips barely twitched.
“Now, boy,” said the General quietly, “you are the heart of the army. Think
of that. You’re the heart of the army. Listen, now.”
And, lying there, Joby listened.
And the General spoke on.
If he, Joby, beat slow tomorrow, the heart would beat slow in the men. They
would lag by the wayside.8
They would drowse in the fields on their muskets.9
They would sleep forever, after that, in those same fields, their hearts slowed
by a drummer boy and stopped by enemy lead."
