Austrian Grenadiers they were, of the corps of Starowitz, fine stout men as big as your friend of yesterday; but when the town fell there were but four hundred alive, and a man could lift them three at a time as if they were little monkeys.
C'étaient des grenadiers autrichiens du corps de Starowitz, de grands beaux hommes, aussi gros que votre ami d'hier. Mais quand la ville se rendit, il n'en restait plus que quatre cent, et un homme pouvait en soulever trois à la fois, comme si c'étaient de petits singes.
