Colonel's orders are to get 'em through as fast as possible. He'd be better engaged at foot drill. 'Very good, said Volnay. 'You can dismount, my man. Come with me. On the far side of the square a squad was at work at the sword exercise, and the instructor's voice was bawling: 'Thrust, return, thrust return. Carry so! Slope so! Shun! Stand at ease! 'Well, said Volnay. 'How do you like it?
"As to that, let your mind be at rest, for I shall travel to-morrow night if you prefer it. Now for the Volnay. Why you are not drinking your wine. What do you say to our paying our respects to the fair ladies above stairs? I am sure the petits soins you have practised coming over would permit the liberty." "Oh! hang it, no.
"But does not the resemblance you were speaking about just now strike the turnkeys?" "My dear M. d'Herblay, it is only for men attached to the court, as you are, to take trouble about such matters." "You're right, you're right, my dear M. Baisemeaux. Let me give you another taste of this Volnay." "Not a taste merely, a full glass; fill yours too." "Nay, nay!
I had emptied out my brandy at Florac, for I could bear the stuff no longer, and replaced it with some generous and scented Volnay; and now I drank to the moon's sacred majesty upon the road. It was but a couple of mouthfuls; yet I became thenceforth unconscious of my limbs, and my blood flowed with luxury.
I'm not a bit curious; but if you can do it, I should like you to take me into your confidence, because I might be of some use. I'm stinking rich, you know disgracefully rich.

At that moment entered Captain Volnay, to whom the drill, saluting, said: 'It's no use wasting this man's time here, sir.
And look here, old chap, you think twice about it. 'I've told you already, Polson answered, 'I've done all my thinking. 'Well, said Volnay, 'wilful must if wilful will. You haven't been getting into any sort of mischief, have you? 'No, said Polson. 'I've done nothing that I have a right to be ashamed of. 'Had a row with the old man? 'Yes.
