This job was no sooner done than a good place was selected on the quarter-deck for this singular implement of war, and then a hail came from the brig. "Vat zat sheep is?" demanded some one from the brig. "The Tigris of Philadelphia, from Calcutta home. What brig is that?" "La Folie corsair Francais. From vair you come?" "From Calcutta. And where are you from?" "Guadaloupe. Vair you go, eh?"
Their folie des grandeurs realized illusions in architecture, in sculpture, and in painting which the assembled and concentrated feats of those arts all the way up and down Fifth Avenue, and in the millionaire blocks eastward could not produce the likeness of.
Meanwhile Withers was quietly making his way through the wood from La Folie, and had made considerable progress before the French could muster in force at this point. As this threatened the rear of his front position, Villars fell back from the entrenchments in front of the wood, and took up the second and far stronger position he had prepared on the high ground.

They tried to get directions, and at last found a French mule team to take them to La Folie, where they finally arrived at four o'clock in the morning. The next day they went on to Tartigny, where they were to be located for a time.
As regards their position, one should be guided by Napoleon's maxim, Les femmes n'ont pas de rang; and regarding them in other things, Chamfort says very truly: Elles sont faites pour commercer avec nos faiblesses avec notre folie, mais non avec notre raison. Il existe entre elles et les hommes des sympathies d'�piderme et tr�s-peu de sympathies d'esprit d'�me et de caract�re.
Souchez, most of the Givenchy Wood, La Folie farm, and Thelus were captured, and on the 28th they made some progress up the Vimy slopes.
They started for La Folie, the Headquarters of the Staff-Captain of that zone, but they lost their way and got far out of the track, arriving at last at Breteuil.
