But with Sylvia he had none of this self-consciousness; she was bonne camarade for him in exactly the same way as she was bonne camarade to the rest of the multitude which thronged the Sunday evenings, perfectly at ease with them, as they with her, in relationship entirely unsentimental.
He found suddenly that her eyes were looking into his with trembling eagerness. "I don't know what to do," he said carelessly. "I wonder if it's safe to go on deck." She turned away from him petulantly and led the way up the ladder. "Oh, v'la le camarade," cried the old man who was leaning with all his might against the long tiller of the barge. "Come and help me."
"One would imagine I had stumbled into a convent for young ladies," he grumbled to himself, "What with Sylvie actually gone, and that pretty pattern of chastity, Angela Sovrani, preaching at me with her big violet eyes, and now Vergniaud who used to be 'bon camarade et bon vivant', branding himself a social sinner really one would imagine that some invisible Schoolmaster was trying to whip me into order . . ."
These were sad tidings for me; and although I did not place implicit confidence in my informant, I had still my fears that much of what he said was true. "And the British, now," said I, "what direction have they taken?" "Bah, they're in retreat on Brussels, and will probably capitulate to-morrow." "Capitulate!" "Oui, oui; ne vous fâchez pas, camarade," said he, laughing.
The five months of war had hardened their bodies and accustomed them to face cold, heat, rain, dust, or mud, with impunity. In this hard school, better than in any other, men of iron are fashioned, who last out a whole campaign and are capable of the supreme effort when the hour comes. We arrived at the Territorials' trench. "Bon-soir, mon cher camarade."
But I have never yet heard, John, what the reason was why you should come out of Beaulieu." "There were seven reasons," said John thoughtfully. "The first of them was that they threw me out." "Ma foi! camarade, to the devil with the other six! That is enough for me and for thee also. I can see that they are very wise and discreet folk at Beaulieu. Ah! mon ange, what have you in the pipkin?"
All corporal defects irritate me, and the want of beauty in women, being something which ought not to exist, shocks me like a tear, a solecism, a dissonance, a spot of ink in a word, like something out of order. On the other hand, beauty restores and fortifies me like some miraculous food, like Olympian ambrosia. "Que le bon soit toujours camarade du beau Des demain je chercherai femme.

And he tore up that feast of humour, the unfinished PROCES-VERBAL. Ah, if he had only torn up instead the Arethusa's roundels!

"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.
