it! My country is at war, and I must be there. As God hears me, I am off

"Count me in," said Tom Fielding quietly. "I have a wife and three kids,
but--"
"My God!" gasped Duff. "My wife." His face went white. He had not yet
fully adjusted himself to the fact of war.
"Why, of course," said Mr. Howland, "you married men won't be called
upon. You must be reasonable. For instance you, Mr. Duff, cannot leave
your wife."
But Duff had recovered himself.
"My wife, sir? My wife would despise me if I stayed up here. Sir, my
wife will buckle on my belt and spurs and send me off to the war," cried
Duff in a voice that shook as he spoke.
