7 and 8

Henry comes back from a post and sees a group of soldiers, and a few stragglers, even further behind was a man struggling to keep up. Henry talked to him and wanted to help, the soldier explained how he had a hernia, and had a truss to support it but he threw it away so he would not have to go on in the army. Henry tells the man to fall and hit his head and then he'd come back and bring him to get help somewhere. I admire that Henry has a good heart even during this horrible war. Later Henry returned to the village, he drank with some buddies and then wanted to see Catherine. When he went to visit her another nurse told Henry that she was sick and won't come see him. The next day, Henry has to go away again to an attack, he stops again at the hospital to see Catherine before he leaves she gave him a "St. Anthony medal".. (i think its like a necklace).. she said it would protect him while he was gone. I don't exactly understand the relationship between Catherine and Henry, I feel as if they barley know eachother, but she told him she loved him, then sometimes she won't see him or kiss him. I think she's a tease or maybe playing hard to get.
