Eventually, on December 24, Walcheren was abandoned, the works and naval basins of Flushing having been previously destroyed. The destruction of Flushing was the sole result of this expedition.

"What did you lose by him?" asked Roger, with parched lips. "Ah, monsieur, I was a Napoleon poorer for every 'Amlet in my house that night." Roger put down two sovereigns on the table.
