Coming nearer my bed, he took my hand, and found my pulse extremely low and weak. "What did you eat yesterday?" "I have eaten nothing, thank God I for two days." Guessing the real state of things, De la Haye became anxious, and entreated me to take some broth. He threw so much kindness, so much unction, into his entreaties that, through weakness and weariness, I allowed myself to be persuaded.
There's our line from the paregoric bottle right along to the snuff box. D'ye see? Well, then, the pill box is for Hougoumont on the right where we was and Norah's thimble for La Haye Sainte. There it is, all right, sir; and here were our guns, and here behind the reserves and the Belgians. Ach, them Belgians!" He spat furiously into the fire.
De la Haye is perfectly well aware of my system, and of my way of thinking on religious matters, but, being himself very devout, he entertains a holy sympathy for my soul, and I do not object to it.
I went to tea with Miss Close on the barge, and afterwards we picked up M. de la Haye, and went to see an old farm, which filled me with joy. It is called "Beau Garde," and lies off the Coxide road. One enters what must once have been a splendid courtyard, but it is now filled indiscriminately with soldiers and pigs.
Gallantly they advanced at the charge, and drove their weary and half-famished opponents out into the open.

A good description of Holland and the Dutch, by a sensible and observant author: principally relating to manners and politics. Lettres sur la Hollande, 1777-79. La Haye, 1780. 2 vols. 12mo.
M. Dandolo, rather surprised, asked a second question: he wished Paralis to give his reasons for the denial. I formed the cabalistic pile, and brought out this answer: "I asked Casanova's opinion, and as I find it opposed to the proposal made by De la Haye, I do not wish to hear any more about it." Oh! wonderful power of self-delusion!
Archie Forbes with a few of the others rallied round the queen with her ladies, and repelled every effort of the wild clansmen to break through, and continued to draw off gradually down the glen. Bruce, with Douglas, De la Haye, and some others, formed the rearguard and kept back the mass of their opponents.
