The French line of barricades was but the third line of defence here, and only the streets had been fortified, not the houses; but by the Austrian retreat it had become the first, and the worn-out French sailors would have hastily to do more weary fatigue-work carting more materials to strengthen this contact point.
Ripsy told me that the fellow was on fatigue-work takes advantage of the freedom of his position to sneak off to your quarters to hatch some prank or mischief or another; and I had to listen to his complaint and confound him! to answer his question, `Is it right for a subaltern to encourage a low-bred rascal like that to come to his quarters? What do you say?" "It was my fault, sir, entirely."
The next moment there was the sound as of a couple of iron buckets being set down upon the ground, followed by the clang, clang of the handles; a dark shadow crossed the window, and a voice exclaimed: "You call, sir?" "That you, Pete?" "Yes, sir." "What are you doing?" "Fatigue-work, sir. Got to take these 'ere buckets round to cook's quarters." "Can you see a letter lying out there anywhere?"
