She surveys the legionnaires with big blue eyes, then approaches Marcel.“Dr. Bruzzi would like to know if you are going to assist him with treating the other wounded legionnaire – Gaspard, oui?” she asks. “Also, he asked me to tell you that the caporal should stay here for the night and be evacuated in the morning.” She smiles, a coquettish grin, and adds, “Oh, there is another wounded legionnaire as well?” The nurse looks around and spots Normand, bloody bandages and torn uniform looking like a pile of rags slumped in the corner. “Légionnaire, the doctor would like me to clean you up before he sutures your wounds,” she says. She motions toward the double-doors. “Do you need help standing up?”As Normand gathers himself together, the plump nurse shakes her head. “It’s terrible about Monsieur Rubiera and his family,” she says to no one in particular. “They were nice people.”</blockquote>
