There was no gainsaying that fact, it seemed. She had married Spikes in a fit of pique at Irish. Still, it was not well to remind her of it too often.
He appeared to be passing from the solid to the fluid state, and I said, ungenerously, that the existing temperature was his liquifying point. "Then," said the man "Pop," with a youngish, oldish smile, "we may as well liquor up." "I don't drink!" said Twaddle, with a flourish. "During all the perilous hours of Shiloh, I abstained.
'I have no doubt he is, poor fellow, said Helena, with a look of proud compassion at her brother, expressing a deep sense of his being ungenerously treated.

Augereau's words are those of a mere fighter, not of a strategist; and the timidity which he ungenerously attributed to Bonaparte was nothing but the caution which a superior intellect saw to be a necessary prelude to a victorious move.
