"I don't think so."
Milo nodded with spurious vim to indicate he still understood and thensat silent, ruminating gravely with troubled misgiving. A scarlet-crested birdshot by below, brushing sure dark wings against a quivering bush. Yossarianand Milo were covered in their bower by tissue-thin tiers of sloping greenand largely surrounded by other gray chestnut trees and a silver spruce. Thesun was high overhead in a vast sapphire-blue sky beaded with low, isolated,puffy clouds of dry and immaculate white. There was no breeze, and the leavesabout them hung motionless. The shade was feathery. Everything was at peacebut Milo, who straightened suddenly with a muffled cry and began pointingexcitedly.
"Look at that！" he exclaimed in alarm. "Look at that！ That's a funeralgoing on down there. That looks like the cemetery. Isn't it？"
Yossarian answered him slowly in a level voice. "They're burying thatkid who got killed in my plane over Avignon the other day. Snowden."
"What happened to him？" Milo asked in a voice deadened with awe.
"lie got killed."
"That's terrible," Milo grieved, and his large brown eyes filled withtears. "That poor kid. It really is terrible." He bit his trembling lip hard, andhis voice rose with emotion when he continued. "And it will get even worse ifthe mess halls don't agree to buy my cotton. Yossarian, what's the matter withthem？ Don't they realize it's their syndicate？ Don't they know they've all got ashare？"
"Did the dead man in my tent have a share？" Yossarian demandedcaustically.
"Of course he did," Milo assured him lavishly. "Everybody in thesquadron has a share."
"He was killed before he even got into the squadron."
Milo made a deft grimace of tribulation and turned away. "I wish you'dstop picking on me about that dead man in your tent," he pleaded peevishly. "Itold you I didn't have anything to do with killing him. Is it my fault that I sawthis great opportunity to comer the market on Egyptian cotton and got us intoall this trouble？
