But I suppose at dinner I played the game, for Coralie and the rest congratulated me. "Getting quite well, Nicholas! And of a chic! Va!" Everyone went more or less mad. They left about four in the morning, all rather drunk, if one must write it.
Ah, how gallantly they rode to their death, poor fellows! A shame it was, I say, to let men and horses charge over ground like that, covered with brush and furze, cut up by ditches. And on top of it all, nom de Dieu! what good could they accomplish? But it was very chic all the same; it was a beautiful sight to see.
At one hospital I was shown a copy of the last letter dictated by a young French officer, and I asked to be allowed to copy it it was indeed a letter of a "chic" type. "Je vous écris

And if you show yourself to be real Winsome and Chic I may be able to use you with the Troupe." "Tea or Coffee?" "Don't tell me which one you bring and see if I can Guess. And I would like some Actual Potatoes." "I suppose, Sir, you think I have no Feelings." "That is none of my Business," he replied. "I am merely passing through your Beautiful Little City."
