I was quite absorbed with my own troubles and said nothing , but he was angry . The rain ceased between two and three in the morning . Buche and I were lying back to back in a furrow , in order to keep warm , and at last overcome by fatigue I fell asleep .

I shall never forget the scene ; and as I looked at the gray sky , the trampled grain , and my sleeping comrades on the right and left , my heart sunk under the sense of desolation . The sound of the bells as they responded to each other from Planchenois to Genappe , from Frichemont to Waterloo , reminded me of Pfalzbourg , and I thought : `` To-day is Sunday , the day of rest and peace . Mr. Goulden has hung his best coat , with a white shirt , on the back of his chair .
