Third Soldier. For God's sake!
Bill. Shut up!
[Exit into hall.
Third Soldier. Seven hours!
[Enter Carter. He is very pale and worn looking. He is without his coat; his clothes ragged and soiled.
Carter (looking up). What's the trouble?
Third Soldier. Nothing. No water, that's all.
Carter. I've got a little in a cup near the window. Take it.
Third Soldier (hesitates). Don't you want it?
Carter. No. But, say, will you do something for me?
