Some were dramatic and some were pathetic, and nearly all were stirring; but I still recall quite clearly the little picture of the forks of the Belgian road, with a background of trampled fields and sacked houses, and just at my feet the doll, with its head crushed in and the sawdust spilled out in the rut the ongoing army had made.
"Your outlaws may understand the ways of the forest, but not those of a city." "Well, your Majesty, they have sacked Coblentz, if that is any recommendation for them."
