Atdtda[4]: Veterans of the Rebellion.

[Michel]

The Veterans of the Rebellion @ 97.13 rises, for me at least, a rather 
puzzling question. Using the phrase 'Rebellion' and not 'Civil War', it 
is not unlikely that the narrator sees this from the pov of the Vets 
themselves.  In that case, disregard what follows.

However, it seems that there is more than one narrator in this novel: 
one, the cheerful author just telling a, somewhat distorted, Chums of 
Chance kid novel, maybe one told by an author to his son once.  The 
parents among you know what a joy it is to tell a story.  The kids among 
you, or the kid in you, hopefully remembers how it was like hearing the 
story told.

A second one is a poet, and a singer.

The third narrator seems to have a much more darker voice.  "Rebellion", 
then, could indicate an idea of a country not healed -but also, maybe 
I'd suggest the author is drawing, albeit implicitly, moral lines.  
Which I do not do, praeteritio-wise.

Michel.
