But you can always bluff the romantic person: indeed his grasp of real considerations is so feeble that you find it necessary to bluff him even when you have solid considerations to offer him instead. The campaigns of Napoleon, with their atmosphere of glory, illustrate this.
The subject represented was Bocchus surrendering and Sulla receiving the surrender of Jugurtha. IV. Though Marius was annoyed at this, yet as he still thought Sulla beneath his jealousy, he employed him in his campaigns in his second consulship in the capacity of legate, and in his third consulship as tribune; and by his instrumentality Marius effected many important objects.
'Your father was not a young man when I married him, and they had been together through I don't know how many campaigns. 'And you say he was not my father's friend! 'Not his friend, Frank; his servant what do they call them? his orderly, I dare say; certainly not his friend. 'Any man may be another man's friend! 'Not in the way you mean; not that his son should go and see him every other day!

The duke told me afterward that all these decorations were due to his own forgetfulness.
