He never even ducked, but quite coolly remarked as he shook the dust off, "That sod is rather thin, Colonel. I guess it was only about six inches." The urgent message that I was called to take was something to the effect that clean socks, underclothes and a bath would be ready for my battalion at a certain date.

I will tell you them immediately, if you wish it." "But but," said the Duc d'Orleans, timidly, "do you know that it is a conspiracy which you propose to me so coolly?"
