It was no wonder, I thought, that the French people believed in victory now that the British had come. A Jingo pride took possession of me. These Tommies of ours were the finest soldiers in the world!
Half an hour later they had reached a fork of the road. "Which way now, camarade?" cried Hermia, who was leading. Markham examined the bushes, the trees, and the fences. He stood for a moment looking down at a minute object by the side of the road, a twig, as Hermia saw, broken in the middle, the open angle toward them. "What does that mean?" she asked.
Then it seemed to him that Laroussel was bending over him Laroussel in his cavalry uniform. "Bon jour, camarade! nous allons avoir un bien mauvais temps, mon pauvre Julien." How! bad weather? "Comment un mauvais temps?" ... He looked in Laroussel's face. There was something so singular in his smile. Ah! yes, he remembered now: it was the wound! ... "Un vilain temps!" whispered Laroussel.

Dick had felt a little wilder in spirit that morning than usual, and on coming to a pretty open plain he gave the rein to Charlie, and with an "Adieu, mes camarade," he was out of sight in a few minutes.
In this high opinion of his own rank, he was greatly fortified by his ideas of the military profession, which, in his phrase, made a valiant cavalier a camarade to an emperor.
