The dam of the reservoir of Puentes in Spain, which was one hundred and sixty feet high, after having discharged its functions for eleven years, burst, in 1802, in consequence of a defect in its foundations, and the eruption of the water destroyed or seriously injured eight hundred houses, and produced damage to the amount of more than a million dollars.
So well was Graham covered by their bands, that, up to the moment of attack, Reille knew not that a British division was also at hand. At the centre, too, a Spanish peasant informed Wellington that the chief bridge of Tres Puentes was unguarded, and guided Kempt's brigade through rocky ground to within easy charging distance.
She burst out: "O Mouse dear, I'm so bored by everybody every sort of everybody.... Of course I don't mean you; you're a good pal.... Oh Paris is too complex especially when you can't quite get the nasal vowels and New York is too youthful and earnest; and Dos Puentes, California, will be plain hell.... And all my little parties I start out on them happily, always, as naive as a kiddy going to a birthday party, and then I get there and find I can't even dance square dances, as the kiddy does, and go home Oh damn it, damn it, damn it!
