A captain, named Lanoue, had introduced armed men, who opened the gate to them, through which they entered and made themselves masters of the town " "That is to say, you opened the mouth of a sack, and they ran into it," replied the prince, looking at Birago.
He continued, however, in his story, and was going to be released upon an order from the Emperor, when a gendarme recognized him as a person who, eight years before, had, under the name of Lanoue, been condemned for theft and forgery to the galleys, whence he had made his escape. Finding himself discovered, he avowed everything.
I think if I had as little inclination for war as he has, I would not engage in the campaign at all; there is nothing to oblige him to do so-it is to reap glory, not to encounter shame, that men go into the army. His best friends, Lanoue and Cleremont, for example, have remonstrated with him on this subject, and he has quarrelled with them in consequence.

"That is all very well, but in case of misfortune what would you do?" "I think I should say with Lanoue: 'Sensation is for the fop, complaints for the fool, an honest man who is deceived goes away and says nothing." "I partly agree with Lanoue; only I should make a little variation instead of goes away should say avenges himself." Marillac threw at his friend a second glance full of meaning.
