I have made the acquaintance of a number of interesting men; that is, I have been presented to them: Prince Gortschakoff, Lueders, Berg, and Osten-Sacken, who commanded in the last war; Orloff, Mentschikoff, Alderberg, Liewen, the Governor of Siberia, and the commandant of the Caucasus; then a lot of aides-de-camp, the foreign princes, and their suites.
"They say the Russian generals have changed lately. Gortschakoff has succeeded Mentschikoff." "Confound those koffs! They are worse than a cold in the head." "And just as difficult to get rid of. I'd like to wring their necks, and every Russian's at Sebastopol." "Mentschikoff could not have been a bad fellow, anyway." "How do you know that?"
"Why, one of our officers who was taken prisoner at Inkerman has just come back to camp. I heard him say that while he was in Sebastopol he got a letter from his young woman at home. She said she hoped he would take Mentschikoff prisoner, and send her home a button off his coat." "Well?"
