I liked the place, and it was infinitely preferable to Petrograd. Mr. Cazalet took us to the theatre one night, and there was rather a good ballet. These poor dancers! They, like others, have lost their nearest and dearest in the war, but they still have to dance.
He shrugged his shoulders impatiently. "Cap de Dieu!" he cried he had a way of swearing that reminded me of my friend Cazalet. "It is no generosity, monsieur. It is a desire to make this obscene work more congenial to the spirit of a gentleman, which, devil take me, I cannot stifle, not for the King himself. And then, Monsieur de Lesperon, are we not fellow-countrymen? Are we not Gascons both?
It is a momentous wager, Bardelys, and spells ruin for one of us." "A madness!" groaned Mironsac. "Mordieux!" swore Cazalet. Whilst La Fosse, who had been the original cause of all this trouble, vented his excitement in a gibber of imbecile laughter. "How long do you give me, Chatellerault?" I asked, as quietly as I might. "What time shall you require?"
Cazalet came to see us off at the station, and we began our long journey to Tiflis, but we changed our minds, and took the local train from to Vladikavkas, where we stayed one night rather enjoyably at a smelly hotel, and the following day we got a motor-car and started at 7 a.m. for the pass. The drive did us all good. The great snow peaks were so unlike Petrograd and gossip!
When she is won, it will be by some bold and gallant gentleman, and by no mincing squire of dames, no courtly coxcomb, no fop of the Luxembourg, be his experiences of dalliance never so vast." "Po' Cap de Dieu!" growled Cazalet, who was a Gascon captain in the Guards, and who swore strange, southern oaths. "Up, Bardelys! Afoot!
Indeed, young Cazalet, whose father was a pensioner at Chunar, hinted very broadly that Colonel Creighton's interest in Kim was directly paternal; and Kim, instead of retaliating, did not even use language.
At this juncture Colonel Grey was shot in the foot, but most gallantly insisted on carrying on his duties until the close of the action. Sub-Inspector Cazalet was also wounded here, but continued in action until he was shot again in the chest at Doornkop. While crossing the ridge the column was subjected to a very heavy fire, and several men and horses were lost here.
