He had painted for his sovereign a most faithful and horrible portrait of the obedient Provinces. The soil was untilled; the manufactories had all stopped; trade had ceased to exist. It was a pity only to look upon the raggedness of his soldiers. No language could describe the misery of the reconciled Provinces Artois, Hainault, Flanders.
Nothing ever tasted right. Only a healthy hunger enabled him to swallow the unsavory messes he concocted in the name of food. He had been at Lone Moose two weeks now.
