They say that at Eckmuhl, for every French cuirassier down, fourteen Austrians were struck in the back. Was it because they had no back-plate? It is evident that it was because they offered their backs to the blows. Jomini speaks of charges at a trot against cavalry at a gallop. He cites Lasalle who used the trot and who, seeing cavalry approach at a gallop, would say: "There are lost men."
I had money, I had the confidence of the underworld, I had an excuse for my hatred of Henry LaSalle, and so I had all the help I wanted. Day and night that man has been watched. He receives no visitors what social life he has is, as you know, at the club.
The banks admit that cattle are a slow sale and a shade lower this spring, and are not as free with their money as a year or two ago. My bankers detained me over an hour until they could send for a customer who claimed to have a very fine lot of beeves for sale in Lasalle County.
Lasalle. 'He's the best creature in the world, everybody likes him; but Oh dear! well I suppose all young men are so; they all like power. Did you notice that Miss Powder down stairs, that I introduced to you? 'Hardly. 'You had no time. She's a sweet creature. Oh, no, you hadn't time; but I want you to see her do-day. I have a little plan in my head. And Mme.
He read the note, and then he sat for half an hour or more without moving. 'And you? asked Talleyrand. 'Why, I stood there not knowing what I ought to do. Presently he seemed to come back to his senses. "I suppose, Lasalle," said he, "that you have some gallant young officers in the Tenth?" "They are all that, sire," I answered.
But I daresay it does not strike you in that light, Monsieur Monsieur 'De Laval. 'Quite so it is curious how that name escapes me. I daresay you take the same view as Colonel Lasalle? 'It is not a question upon which I can offer an opinion, said I. 'I only know that I owe my life to your intercession.
'Upon my word, I said what I thought, replied the first gentleman. 'Miss Kennedy, called Stuart out from his post down the brook; 'should compliments be true or false, to be compliments? Miss Powder is too indignant to be judge in the case. 'I do not see how false ones can compliment, said the lady in green, much intent upon her line. 'There! Mr. Lasalle is that what you call a bite?
"W'at's he up to?" was the burden of his thoughts; "w'at kind of a gold brick has the big guy got to sell?" McGuire was only applying the measure of the streets he had walked to a range bounded by the horizon and the fourth dimension. The description here is undoubtedly from O. Henry's memory of his journey from his home in North Carolina to a ranch in LaSalle County, Texas, when he was twenty.
I have often heard the soldiers discussing round the camp-fires as to who was the bravest man in the Grand Army. Some said Murat, and some said Lasalle, and some Ney; but for my own part, when they asked me, I merely shrugged my shoulders and smiled. It would have seemed mere conceit if I had answered that there was no man braver than Brigadier Gerard.
And to compensate me for the lateness, and for the refrigeration, and for the starvation, and for being forced to eat my breakfast hurriedly under the appealing, reproachful gaze of famishing men and women, an official at the Lasalle station was good enough to offer me a couple of dollars. I accepted them.... An unfortunate accident, you say. It would be more proper to say a series of accidents.
