“All the way up from Virginia? How do they do that?” Bertha said.
“If we knew, we’d do it, too,” Flora said dryly. “I bet like anything we’re trying to figure it out, though.”
“Oh, boy.” Bertha didn’t sound impressed, for which Flora could hardly blame her. “What’s to keep us all from getting murdered in our beds without even any warning?”
Nothing, Flora thought. “We’re going to take Atlanta pretty soon. If we smash the Confederate States to pieces, they won’t be able to go on with the war.”
“Oh, boy,” her secretary repeated. “How long will that take?”
“I don’t know. Not too long, I hope.” Please, God, let it be before they send Joshua into action. I haven’t asked You for much, but give me that.
“They’ll be shooting off these skyrocket things all the time till then?” Bertha asked.
“Not if we can bomb the places where they shoot them from,” Flora said.
“Hmp.” Bertha made a noise redolent of skepticism. “Did anybody know what a nasty war this would be before they went and started it?”
“Does anybody ever?”
“What are we going to do?” Bertha asked.
“What can we do? We’re stuck in it. We’ve got to win,” Flora said. Bertha didn’t say no, but she didn’t say yes, either.
