He looked at me quite indignantly as he replied: "Madame forgets that there are Aspirants no older than I whose names are already inscribed on the roll of honor." You see an elderly lady, unused to a soldier's point of view, may be very sympathetic, and yet blunder as a comforter. The relève passed off quietly. It was all in the routine of the soldiers' lives.
Oddly enough, not all that Zeppelin has done since to offend French ideas of decency in war can dull the admiration felt by every cavalry officer for his clever feat in 1870. Last Thursday, that was the 4th, we had our second relève.
As a pendant, take the description of one of the last French novels: "A Paris tout s'oublie, tout se pardonne. Par convenance, par decence, quelquefois par crainte, on s'absente, ou fait un entr'acte: puis le rideau se releve pour le spectacle de nouvelles fautes et de nouvelles folies; toute la question est de savoir s'y prendre."
However, amidst the tinkling music of the silver, the company began to do honour to the banquet. In the provinces, people eat very much and very noisily. By the time the releve was served, the gentlemen were all talking together; they showered kicks upon the vanquished, flattered one another, and made disparaging remarks about the absence of the marquis.
And when I did show thee some poor verses of mine, French verses, for at this time I hated and had partly forgotten my native language "My dear Dayne, you always write about love, the subject is nauseating." "So it is, so it is; but after all Baudelaire wrote about love and lovers; his best poem...." "C'est vrai, mais il s'agissait d'une charogne et cela relève beaucoup la chose."
I also observed the burring Squirel of the Species Common about the quawmarsh flatts West of the Rocky Mountains. Musquetors very troublesom. one man Jo. Potts very unwell this evening owing to rideing a hard trotting horse; I give him a pill of Opiom which Soon releve him. I saw fresh Sign of 2 horses and a fire burning on the side of the road.
For instance, in Monsieur Alphonse, a husband, on discovering that his wife has had an intrigue before their marriage, and that a little girl whom she wishes to adopt is really her daughter, instantly raises her from the ground where she lies grovelling at his feet, and says: "Créature de Dieu, toi qui as failli et te repens, relève toi, je te pardonne."
All Italian restaurants serve the paste as a releve rather than as an entree, which it usually follows, preceding the roast in the dinner. As a separate and distinct dish it can well be made to serve as a full meal, especially when tagliarini is prepared after the following recipe: Tagliarini Des Beaux Arts
"Un homme ne Chretien et Francois se trouve contraint dans la satyre; les grands sujets lui sont defendus, il les entame quelquefois, et se detourne ensuite sur de petites choses qu'il releve par la beaute de son genie et de son style."
I had hardly got accustomed to seeing the Aspirant about the house, either writing, with the cat on his knees, or reading, with Dick sitting beside him, begging to have his head patted, when one evening he came in, and said quietly: "Well, madame, we are leaving you in a day or two. The order for the relève has come, but the day and hour are not yet fixed."
