My hay-fever was obviously annoying him, but he only commented: 'Don't you think you ought to go to a doctor a really reliable man with that distressing nasal complaint of yours, my dear? I knew, however, that he was longing to bark out: 'Can't you do something to stop that everlasting sniffing? It's driving me mad, woman. How long would it be before we reached this stage of debacle? I brooded.
Packets of socks and shirts showed where an English quartermaster's stores had been, and flapping canvas and dismantled shelters were evidence of a local débâcle to our side. The sight of derelict tractors, motor cars, and steam rollers, left in the sunken road at Gouzeaucourt, produced a sense of shock.
It was not lack of faith or trust that held him back from taking Jason into his full confidence it was the possibility, always present, that some day the house of cards might totter, the Gray Seal be discovered to be Jimmie Dale, and in the ruin, the disaster, the debacle that must follow, the less old Jason knew, for old Jason's own sake, the better! It was the one thing that would save Jason.
I know what is right from my own sense of values, and I will do it in spite of you. So far as we know, there were no rebels of that kind in the art of the Graeco-Roman world. But our world of art is full of such rebels and has been ever since the artistic debacle at the beginning of the nineteenth century.
One yarn was to the effect that whenever the Doctor mounted his horse, it was customary for the Crown Prince of Prussia afterwards the Emperor Frederick to hold his stirrup leather for him. I still have some letters which the latter wrote me respecting Zola's novel "La Debacle," in which he took a great interest.
The last of the French soldiers had just crossed the Seine to go to Pont-Andemer by Saint Sever and Bourg-Achard; and following them all, their general, desperate, unable to attempt anything with such non-descript wrecks, himself dismayed in the crushing debacle of a people accustomed to conquer and now disastrously defeated despite their legendary bravery, was walking between two orderlies.
The brilliance of the court of Napoleon III just before the débâcle of 1870 is a matter of history, and it reached its high-water mark during the Exposition year of 1867, when emperors, kings, and princes journeyed to Paris to do homage to the man of the hour.
They now understood what had caused the strange noise that mystified them the rumbling followed by a crash. No accidental debacle or falling of a portion of the cliff, as they had been half supposing; but a deed of atrocious design a huge rock rolled by the united strength of the savages, until it rested over the orifice of the shaft, completely coping and closing it.
And then came the debacle in Georgia. On that same 20th of September when Benjamin poured out in a letter to Slidell his stored-up bitterness denouncing Napoleon, Davis, feeling the last crisis was upon him, left Richmond to join the army in Georgia. His frame of mind he had already expressed when he said, "We have no friends abroad."
A swearing chauffeur fumbled in the seat, but was in no real hurry to alight, because he had noted the Count's débâcle, and Curtis ran to the two cowering women. "In with you!" he said cheerily, adding, with a grin at the driver: "Fifty for you if we win clear. Now, be a sport!" Of course, the driver of a taxi would be a sport.
