We laughed and cheered and groaned all in turn as we heard how the 44th had received cavalry in line, how the Dutch-Belgians had fled, and how the Black Watch had taken the Lancers into their square, and then had killed them at their leisure.
On rit, on applaudit, on gémit tour à tour, en entendant raconter que la 44ème avait reçu la cavalerie en ligne, que les Hollando- Belges avaient pris la fuite, que la Garde Noire avait laisse pénétrer les Lanciers dans son carré, et les y avait tués à loisir.
