in such a situation8
of the th rifles8
was nothing to be8
the remainder of our8
a few hundred yards8
in consequence of which8
had been made to8
on his way to8
the life of a8
what may be called8
to the lines of8
between the two armies8
as they had been8
carcass of the horse8
a great part of8
the sake of the8
of which he was8
in the french army8
of one of their8
the word of command8
with a couple of8
that i should be8
as if by magic8
it seemed to me8
we had been in8
that they were to8
on the left of8
at the sight of8
the satisfaction of seeing8
i am very glad8
of the forlorn hope8
we could not have8
with which it was8
that i shall be8
the crew of the8
so as to reach8
on the third day8
it was found that8
the muzzles of our8
on their way to8
the poor fellows who8
at the thought of8
it was difficult to8
that we should be8
they could not be8
we shall be able8
the women and children8
in killed and wounded8
a word or two8
it was in vain8
the use of the8

and on the following8
two or three times8
the opposite bank of8

set to work to8
to the tune of8

the officer commanding the8
that he had only8
was a general laugh8
in which the french8
the rd and nd8
to which they had8
one of them was8
it would be better8
to rise no more8
and those of the8
if they did not8
seemed to be a8
to be on the8
the carcass of the8
the battle of waterloo8
the time that the8
the wall of the8
he had picked up8
we should have been8
the bodies of the8
was silent for a8
of shot and shell8
of our men to8
go back to the8
the excitement of the8
in the highest degree8
seemed to be the8
that he had no8
the first thing to8
the assistance of the8
it is not to8
being one of the8
to the other side8
but i think that8
companies of the th8
that they were all8
not to be wondered8
we ought to have8
had no difficulty in8
and for a while8
i think that you8
that he should be8
a few minutes the8
that they did not8

to believe that the8
the french out of8

half an hour before8

to make room for7
some of the other7
with a look of7
mean to say that7
a few minutes they7
we passed through the7
during the heat of7
near the end of7

the result was that7
distance from the town7
you have got to7
at a distance of7
a friend of mine7
which happened to be7
in the command of7

you are not to7
until the th of7
to say that you7

some of our officers7
the french army had7
i am not going7
be able to see7
the command of general7
who had come to7
they are sure to7
they are going to7
to his feet and7
i think that it7
as i have already7
that it could not7
nearly at the same7
the field in the7
on the back of7

so as not to7
to the fact that7
from the lips of7

to think that we7
appeared to me that7
the roar of the7

be glad if you7
we should have to7
