Chapter XXII
THE SUSPECT That night she wrote to her lover at the great hospital in the south, where he lay slowly growing well: MY DJACK: Today has been very beautiful, made so for me by my thoughts of you and by a warm September sun which makes for human happiness, too. I am wearing my ribbon of the Legion. Ah, my Djack, it belongs more rightly to you, who would not let me go alone to Nivelle that dreadful day. Why do they not give you the cross?
