Marlborough and Eugene had seen from hour to hour the progress of these formidable works, and resolved to mask their front attack by a strong demonstration on the enemy's rear. The troops coming up from Tournai, under General Withers, were ordered not to join the main army; but to cross the Haine at Saint Ghislain, and to attack the extreme left of the enemy at the farm of La Folie.
It was resolved not to abandon the siege of Mons, and to attack the enemy if they would not take the offensive; but to wait until Saint Ghislain, which commanded a passage on the Haine, was taken; and until twenty-six battalions on the march from Tournai arrived.
Bucher's phrase, the period of "la haine" after the famous Saverne incident in 1912. That extraordinary display of German military insolence seemed to let loose unsuspected forces. "All of a sudden, and from all sides, there was an explosion of fury against the Germans."
"Pourquoi fit on l'amour, si son pouvoir n'affronte, Et la vie et la mort, et la haine et la honte! Je ne demande, je ne veux pas savoir Si rien a de ton coeur terni le pur miroir: Je t'aime! tu le sais! Que l'importe tout le reste?" "Oh Victor," answered the trembling voice of Eva, "my fault is not the having too little love for you.
Without love she might have allowed herself to be blindfolded as many other women are, by ambition, or money, or intellect. "La vie est vaine, Un peu d'amour, Un peu de haine, Et puis bon jour." In the process of Arithelli's convalescence, comedy fought for place with tragedy.
"This is from Citizen Michaux, the famous naturalist, the political agent of the French Republic. Read what he has written me." I read, I fear in a faltering voice: "Citoyen General: "Un homme qui a donne des preuves de son amour pour la Liberte et de sa haine pour le despotisme ne devait pas s'adresser en vain au ministre de la Republique francaise.
He exchanged a hurried whisper with Lempriere. "What flag is that which you see flying on the Castle staff?" "It is not a flag of truce," shouted Haine. "God do so to me and more also if I make them not like unto Oreb and Zeb!" The text seemed to relieve the veteran like an execration. "What mean you by your flag, Mr. Prynne? I am not to take my orders from you, sir, I hope."
The trumpeter rode forward to summons the Castle, a white flag flying from the tube of his instrument. Ere he could reach the gate, a gun boomed out from the Castle, a round shot whizzed over the heads of the summoners, and Haine roared at the top of his well-trained voice, "Come back; it is a sufficient answer."
So he readily agreed to the counsels of those who urged him to accept Prynne's offer of service, and appointed the Presbyterian confessor to accompany Blake and Haine as a representative of conciliation and indulgence.
Then followed my tractate upon their deposing and executing their lawful king; and other leaves against the arbitrary taxation of what I call 'the Westminster Junto. Think you that these things can be forgotten, or that my being sent here with Haine is more than a hollow compliment?
