‘When Johnnie comes marching home again

Hurrah! Hurrah!

When Johnnie comes marching home again

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The men will cheer, the boys will shout

The ladies they will all come out …’

And the song went out but something else seemed to go too. He heard the song and he was doing it but there was something so very strange, set apart from the voice, which he could not begin to name, as if he were one thing, the voice another, distinct, uncoupled. It touched him with fear and a kind of wondering numbness so that when he saluted at the end and people clapped it was as if he were dizzy and he did not know what to do until Miss Bennett said, ‘You can sit down now, Joe.’
