Their quarrels had become as difficult for him to remember as her faceHe mused about her now, and in his mind she became another woman, many womenHe began to construct a lewd fantasy in his mind
Roth dreamt he was taking pornographic pictures of a model whom he had dressed as a cowgirlShe was wearing a ten-gallon hat, and a leather fringe about an inch wide across her breasts, and a leather holster and cartridge belt slung at an angle across her hipsHe imagined now that he was telling her which way to pose and she was obeying with a tantalizing insoucianceHis groin began to ache, and he sat there, brooding, dreaming
After a time he became sleepy again, and tried to fight against itSome artillery was firing steadily a mile or two away, the sounds loud, then muffled, then loud againIt gave him a secure cartier santos 100 chronograph feelingHe hardly listened any longer to the jungleHis eyes kept closing, remaining shut for many seconds while he yawed away on the edge of slumberSeveral times he was about to fall asleep when a sudden noise in the jungle would rouse him with a startHe looked at the luminous dial of his watch and realized with dismay that he had still an hour of guardHe lay back, closed his eyes with the full intention of opening them in a few seconds, and fell asleep
It was the last he remembered until he awoke almost two hours laterIt had begun to rain once more, and the gentle drizzle had soaked his fatigues and penetrated to the insides of his shoesHe sneezed miserably once, and then realized with dismay how long he had been asleep"A Jap could have killed me," he said to himself, and the thought sent electric gucci men wallet wakening shudders through his bodyHe got out of the foxhole and stumbled over toward where Brown was sleepingHe would have missed him but he heard Brown whisper, "What the hell are you thrashing around for like a pig in the brush?"
