When the river began to grow purple with evening, he noticed that two civilians, young men with buff-colored coats and canes, were watching the gang at work. "They says they's newspaper reporters, writing up how fast the army's being demobilized," said one man in an awed voice. "They come to the right place." "Tell 'em we're leavin' for home now. Loadin' our barracks bags on the steamer.
At last I had him laughing and mimicking, in his inimitable way a thing which he had not done for my benefit since the first night of our acquaintance the elderly and outraged Moignon whom he proposed to visit in Paris, for the purpose of cancelling his contracts. As for Vichy Vichy could go hang. There were ravening multitudes of demobilized variety artists besieging every stage-door in France.
I suggest this as a profession to any demobilized soldier looking for work. He should walk about London, making a note of the houses which have just been sold or let, and as soon as the new residents have taken possession, he should send round his card. "Tell me what is worrying you," he would say, "and I will see that something is done about it." He might charge a couple of guineas as his fee.
The Montenegrin army was, in fact, never quite demobilized, and the King badgered the Powers continually to order the withdrawal of the Turkish troops "which threatened his frontier." Great Britain realized that Montenegro was a spot which needed watching, and sent Count de Salis there as Minister. High time, too.
"I must do like all other demobilized men return to my trade." Elodie nearly fainted. For months the prospect had hung over them like a doom; ever since the brigade which he commanded in England had dissolved through demobilization, and he, left in the air, had applied disastrously to the War Office for further employment.
He was conscious only of her hands in his hands and of her pale- brown eyes and of the bright sun-splotches and the green shadows fluttering all about them. "So you are out of prison," she said, "and demobilized. How wonderful! Why didn't you write? I have been very uneasy about you. How did you find me here?" "Your mother said you were here." "And how do you like it, my Poissac?"
It is perfectly true that he did not make war on Prussia in 1806 any more than on England in 1803. He only made peace impossible. The condition on which Prussia now urgently insisted was the entire evacuation of Germany by French troops. This Napoleon refused to concede until Frederick William demobilized his army, a step that would have once more humbled him in the eyes of this people.
This young Hungarian, who had been educated in England and spoke with a Cambridge accent, possessed large estates in northeastern Hungary. After four years' service as an officer of cavalry he was demobilized upon the signing of the Armistice.
We can't live a little rag of romance without dragging in literature. We are drugged with literature so that we can never live at all, of ourselves." "Jean, how did you come down here? Have you been demobilized long?" "I walked almost all the way from Paris. You see, I am very dirty." "How wonderful! But I'll be quiet. You must tell me everything from the moment you left me in Chartres."
The demobilized soldiers who for years had been well fed and relieved of solicitude for the morrow returned home, flushed with victory, proud of the commanding position which they had won in the state, and eager to reap the rewards of their sacrifices. But they were bitterly disillusioned.
