Quotation from The Prussian Officer and Other Stories by D. H. Lawrence
“They had marched more than thirty kilometres since dawn, along the white, hot road where occasional thickets of trees threw a moment of shade, then out into the glare again.”
The Prussian Officer and Other Stories, The Prussian Officer, I (Project Gutenberg #22480 (Duckworth, 1914))
The opening sentence sets the heat and exhaustion that press on the orderly throughout the story.
