"He never would have anything to do with me; said I was a classic type and they always bored him stiff.
As he entered, a perceptible shock was felt; electricity was in the air; many turned away from him, and an officer remarked in audible tones, as I asked the reason of the flutter: "O, ce n'est rien; c'est seulement le colonel, . . . qui aime mieux s'amuser a Mexico que de se battre a Matamoros."
The Colonel laughed. "Oh, I am bit, am I? Tant mieux. But why the devil do you stay here?" "Now why the devil do you want to know?" said Harry. "No, that is not kind, boy." "Oh, Oh, are we kind?"
