This story, or dit, "saying," as it was called in French, was exceedingly popular through-out Europe five or six hundred years ago.

There was a song the soldiers sang on the sly during these months, when the king, having said he would make war, seemed loath to begin: Timide, imbécile, farouche, Jamais Louis n'avait dit mot. At last though, under those two tough old warriors, Marshal Villars and Marshal, the Duke of Berwick, the French were on the march. Marshal Villars went to Italy and the Duke of Berwick to the Rhine.
Comme on dit en Anglais fly with me! I remarked that our state when we got to the Champs de Mars would be an effective disguise. He didn't understand, and it was delicious!" I laughed. "All the same," I observed, "I can't see the fun of making jokes which the person to whom you make them doesn't see the point of." "Why, that's your own peculiar form of humour," she retorted.
