Whitehead meets Cutler and two army deserters, Jacob and Friend. Together they leave the battleground in search of an ale house. They encounter the Irishman O'Neill, a man whom Whitehead has been sent to apprehend for the theft of his master's works and literature. O'Neill quickly asserts authority over the group and tells them of a treasure hidden somewhere in a nearby field.〔 After using Whitehead to locate the treasure, O'Neill instructs Jacob and Friend to dig for it and he leaves Cutler to supervise. Jacob is under the influence of hallucinogens, and after several hours of digging he attacks Friend. Cutler attempts to intervene, and accidentally shoots Friend to death. Cutler is forced to finish digging by himself, whilst the others slip away unnoticed. Cutler discovers that the "treasure" is just a skull. He angrily berates O'Neill who promptly kills him and then pursues Whitehead and Jacob, who scavenge Cutler's weapons and return to the army camp. As they are preparing for an attack, Friend appears alive and reveals their location to O'Neill. O'Neill shoots Jacob in the gut, but Jacob returns fire and ruins O'Neill's foot. Friend brandishes a pike and charges O'Neill, but O'Neill kills him with his last shot. Whitehead takes advantage of the situation to finally kill O'Neill. Whitehead buries his friends in the treasure hole. Wearing O'Neill's clothes, he gathers his master's stolen belongings and returns to the hedgerow where he first met Cutler, Jacob and Friend, from which battle sounds are rising. After he wades through the hedge, he sees Friend, Jacob and himself standing together. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Field in England」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
