Chapter Four..
Firstly, I want to thank all of my kind reviewers for your support and praise on this in only two short days. you guys must really be bored. Ahem.On with the story!!
Colonel Potter.
Hey there, critter-oos. Hey buster, keep your teeth to yourself, Sophie's not too fond of you anyway. Oh, Fluffy, don't look at me in that tone of voice, it's nothing personal. She just isn't too keen on little furry things.
But, I did promise Radar I would help out with you when he left, and if a cavalry man doesn't keep his word of honor, he might as well eat his horse. So here I am.
You bunch of people, excuse the term, certainly have been collecting a lot of attention lately. and it may just be that my peepers have gone awry in my old age, but I could have sworn that Charles walk back here a few days ago. He's about 5 foot ten, a pompous regular?? Yeah, you must have seen him. That look on your face says it all. I know, Charles can be a real handful sometimes, I know.
It must be amazing to be as little as you are, but still be able to see so much. I bet you get a good view on everything that goes on around here, don't you?? You probably see out lives a lot more clearly than we do. I wonder what you see in store for me? Will I be happy as Mrs. Potter's Mr. Potter? Oh sure, I have a lot of lost time to make up to her, what with one war after another, but I don't know that it will be enough. I know what you're thinking: The old man has lost his mind. How could anyone miss what goes on around here?? Well, I wouldn't miss it, but something in me Would be missing. I've been in the Army since the age of 15. That's right, I snuck in before I was supposed to. Couldn't wait to see the action. But now I've seen too much, and I do want to go home. It's just an old man's ramblings on how much he doubts himself these days.
And now I feel really stupid, because I've wasted all this time here when I have a million other things to do. Well, serves an old army mule right, doesn't it? Not you Sophie! You're the young and beautiful, not the old and wrinkled!! I'll be back soon, little ones!!
