Here and there was a semi-illicit stand where horsemeat, salt fish, carrots or cabbage and parsnips, and sour milk could be bought on the sly if you had the price. But it was very little at any price and exceedingly uncertain of appearance. We were sent to join the other prisoners, French, English, Scotch and Americans who had preceded us from the front to Moscow.
Doctor Allix says it will last for another four or five days. My nephew Leopold came to dine with us. He brought us some pickled oysters. February 1. Little Jeanne is better. She smiled at me. February 2. The Paris elections have been postponed to February 8. Horsemeat continues to disagree with me. Pains in the stomach. Yesterday I said to Mme.
I don't know what to think, but the rapid closing of the season is ominous. It is great luck having the horsemeat to add to our ration. To-night we have had a real fine 'hoosh. It is a race between the season and hard conditions and our fitness and good food. Saturday, February 25. Lunch Temp. -12°. Managed just 6 miles this morning.
Here with plenty of horsemeat we have had a fine supper, to be followed by others such, and so continue a more plentiful era if we can keep good marches up. New life seems to come with greater food almost immediately, but I am anxious about the Barrier surfaces. Monday, February 19.
If the Approach had not been within a stone's throw of Sherryman Square it might have been called a slum. It had tenement houses with swarms of squalid children playing in the open doorways, its shops offered East End food mussels and whelks, "two-eyed steaks," reeking fish-and-chips, and horsemeat for the cheap foreign element.
During their progress the question of food again became prominent, the salted horsemeat they had brought with them being spoiled by its frequent wetting. Game was plentiful, but their powder was all spoiled, and the only food to be found was the fruit of the banana-tree, which grew abundantly on the banks. The cupidity of the freebooters was not abated by the danger of their situation.
Mathe and Gambon, the ex-Representatives, called to ask me to take part in a meeting of which former representatives are to form the nucleus. The meeting would be impossible without me, they said. But I see more disadvantages than advantages in such a meeting. I thought I ought to refuse. We are eating horsemeat in every style.
