There I dined, not wisely, but too well. I drank of the flowing cup une bouteille de champagne and I met a maiden as ugly as sin, but beautiful in my eyes after Pozieres you understand and accompanied her to her poor lodging in a most verminous place, sir where we discoursed upon the problems of life and love. O youth! O war!
And a child no older than my own boy who is fighting in the Argonne." "Apportez-moi une bouteille de champagne, vite!..." said the young officer. Y a-t'il quelqu'un qui a vu mon sacre cheval? In other words, if I don't find that four-legged beast which led to my damnation I shall be shot at dawn. Fusille, comprenez?
