“Well, baby,” Rinaldi said. I sat up on the bed. He came over, sat down and put his arm around me. “Good old baby.” He whacked me on the back and I held both his arms.
“Old baby,” he said. “Let me see your knee. “Is that all the articulation you have?”
“Yes.”
“It’s a crime to send you back. They ought to get complete articulation.”
“It’s a lot better than it was. It was stiff as a board.”
“You ought to have more treatment on it with the machines.”
“It’s better than it was.”
“I see that, baby. This is something I know more about than you. The knee itself is a good job. Tell me all about everything.”
“There's nothing to tell. I've led a quiet life.”
“You act like a married man. What's the matter with you?”
“Nothing. What's the matter with you?”
“This war is killing me. I am very depressed by it. All summer and all fall I’ve operated. I work all the time. I do everybody’s work. All the hard ones they leave to me. By God, baby, I am becoming a lovely surgeon.”
“That sounds better.”
“I never think. No, by God, I don't think; I operate.”
“That’s right.”
“But now, baby, it’s all over. I don’t operate now and I feel like hell. This is a terrible war, baby. … Are you married?”
“Not yet.”
“Are you in love?”
“Yes.”
“With that English girl?”
“Yes.”
“Poor baby. Is she good to you?”
“Of course.”
“I mean is she good to you practically speaking?”
“Shut up.”
“I will. You will see I am a man of extreme delicacy. Does she –?”
“Rinin. Please shut up. If you want to be my friend, shut up.”
“I don't want to be your friend, baby. I am your friend.”
“Then shut up.”
“All right.”
“You see how it is, Rinin?”
“Oh, yes. All my life I encounter sacred subjects. But very few with you. I suppose you must have them too.”
“You haven’t any?”
“Not any?”
“No.”
“I can say this about your mother and that about your sister?”
“And that about your sister.”
"The old superman," I said.
“I am jealous maybe,” Rinaldi said.
“No, you're not.”
“I don’t mean like that. I mean something else. Have you any married friends?”
“Yes,” I said.
“I haven’t,” Rinaldi said. "Not if they love each other.”
“Why not?”
“They don’t like me. I am the snake. I am the snake of reason. I’ll never say a dirty thing about her.”
“Don’t strain yourself.”
