In 1857 also, Emile Montegut wrote a study of "The Gypsy Gentleman," which he published in his "Ecrivains Modernes de l'Angleterre."
Your visit must cost you nothing. Vive l'Angleterre!" Both men and women vied with each other in courteous acts. They insisted on shaking hands again and again, they plied them with cigarettes, while Bob was very much confused by two elderly dames, both of whom insisted on kissing him on both cheeks. "What would you?" they cried. "We are each old enough to be your mother.
"C'est bien," he murmured, and stood up. "Vive l'Angleterre." Gravely he saluted, and Draycott took off his hat. "Mon Colonel, vive la France." They shook hands; and having once again solemnly saluted one another, he took the Frenchman's advice and went in search of dinner. In the restaurant itself everything seemed normal.
Some unfortunate chance had prevented my going to the club for several days, or I might have got it in time to save him. Perhaps it was not too late.

The shopgirls of Paris threw flowers from the windows as the car passed. Dense crowds of citizens thronged the narrow street of the Faubourg St.
"Vive l'Angleterre! Vos soldats, ou sont ils, camarade?" Where were the English soldiers? It was always that question which sprang to their lips. But for a little while I could not answer. It was strange. There was no news of the crossing of the Expeditionary Force to France. In the French and English newspapers no word was said about any British soldiers on French soil.
Grey m'a dit que l'Ambassadeur d'Allemagne lui a déclaré que le Gouvernement Allemand n'avait pas été informé du texte de la note autrichienne, mais qu'il soutenait entièrement la démarche autrichienne. L'Ambassadeur a demandé en même temps si l'Angleterre pouvait consentir
The shouts that predominated were simply: "Vive La France!" "Vive l'Armee!" and "Vive l'Angleterre!" One or two British flags were also borne along beside the French tricolor. I cabled the following message to Mr. Ogden Reid, editor of the New York Tribune: Tribune, New York, Private for Mr. Reid.
