Whether this prudence, which was then considered unseasonable, arose from his unacquaintance with a country, which he then saw for the first time, or from his distrust of soldiers whom he had not yet tried, we know not. It is possible that he did not feel himself justified in risking a battle, the loss of which would certainly have involved that of the grand army and its leader.
"She drives very well." It was not the sort of answer he was expecting. His desire was to argue. "She didn't drive very well then," he said, with conviction. "Was that a reason for your leaving her to drive home alone?" Women were astounding! "She ought to have let the chauffeur drive," he maintained. "Ah! A man mustn't expect too much from a woman."

Once he found himself wondering why he was risking his life to avenge or rescue this girl whom he hated so.
Four long days he and his army sat before the pass, “because,” announced his couriers, “he wishes in his benignity to give these madmen a chance to flee away and shun destruction;” “because,” spoke those nearest to Mardonius, the brain of the army, “there is hot fighting ahead, and the general is resolved to bring up the picked troops in the rear before risking a battle.”
