Eusthenes did help to flay, and Panurge placed two great cuirassier saddles in such sort that they served for andirons, and making their prisoner to be their cook, they roasted their venison by the fire wherein the horsemen were burnt; and making great cheer with a good deal of vinegar, the devil a one of them did forbear from his victuals it was a triumphant and incomparable spectacle to see how they ravened and devoured.
We all know everybody at least who has the slightest acquaintance with the army list that, at the commencement of their life, my Lord Kew, my Lord Viscount Rooster, the Earl of Dorking's eldest son, and the Honourable Charles Belsize, familiarly called Jack Belsize, were subaltern officers in one of His Majesty's regiments of cuirassier guards.
Mademoiselle Brun wandered from shop to shop, gathering a hundred rumours but no information. "The emperor is dying Macmahon is wounded," a butcher told her, as he mechanically sharpened his knife at her approach, though he had not as much as a bone in his shop to sell her. She stopped a cuirassier riding a lame horse, his own leg hastily bandaged with a piece of coloured calico.
Of every rank, from the sous-lieutenant to the humble soldier, from every arm of the service, from the heavy cuirassier of the guard to the light and intrepid tirailleur, they were there. I well remember one, an artillery-man of the guard, who, as they lifted him forth from the cart, presented the horrifying spectacle of one both of whose legs had been carried away by a cannon-shot.
DRAGOON. An Irishman follows his fortune's star. SECOND SHARPSHOOTER. The Tyrolese for their sovereign war. FIRST CUIRASSIER. Then, comrades, let each of our corps agree A pro memoria to sign that we, In spite of all force or fraud, will be To the fortunes of Friedland firmly bound, For in him is the soldier's father found.
'tis kept in safe hands, I suppose. FIRST CUIRASSIER. Peace, good sirs, will you come to blows? Have you a quarrel and squabble to know If the emperor be our master or no? 'Tis because of our rank, as his soldiers brave, That we scorn the lot of the herded slave; And will not be driven from place to place, As priest or puppies our path may trace.
SERGEANT. Hold, sirs just toss off a glass with me To the health of Piccolomini. This shall not go to the list of scores, I gladly give it success be yours! CUIRASSIER. The soldier shall sway! BOTH YAGERS. The peasant shall pay DRAGOONS and SHARPSHOOTERS. The army shall flourishing stand! TRUMPETER and SERGEANT. And the Friedlander keep the command! Arouse ye, my comrades, to horse! to horse!
It is the fastest horse in the six brigades of light cavalry, and was only beaten by the Duke of Rovigo's racer from England. As to Charpentier, he had the kind of horse which a horse grenadier or a cuirassier would be likely to ride: a back like a bedstead, you understand, and legs like the posts. He is a hulking fellow himself, so that they looked a singular pair.
When the Count received me he was clothed in the undress uniform of the Cuirassier regiment, of which he was the colonel.
She haunted, therefore, the heights of Bazeilles, seeking among the dead one who wore the cuirassier uniform. She found, God knows, enough, but not Lory de Vasselot. All this while she never wrote to Frejus, judging, with a deadly common sense, that no news is better than bad news.
