"'Grenadiers, you hear the order, Forward! But the same instant a terrible discharge of grape tore through the ranks, killing three and wounding eight others. 'Forward, men! forward! shouted the major. But no one stirred." "Tête d'enfer," growled out Pioche, "where was the tambour?" "You shall hear," said Minette, and resumed.
