Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fort Amity "So adieu, Jack, until we meet in Quebec! You have the start of us, report says, and this may even find you drinking His Majesty´s health in Fort Carillon. Why not? You carry Howe, and who carries Howe carries the eagles on his standards; or so you announce in your last. Well, but have we, on our part, no vexillum? Brother Romulus presents his compliments to Brother Remus and begs leave to answer ´Wolfe!´ ´Tis scarce forty-eight hours since Weynecked Dick brought his ships into harbour with the Brigadier on board, and already I have seen him - and what is more - fallen in love. ´What like is he?´ says you. ´Just a sandy-haired slip of a man,´ says I, ´with a cock nose´: but I love him, Jack, for he knows his business. We´ve a professional at last! - no more Pall Mall promenaders - no more Braddocks, Loudons, Webbs! We live in the consulship of Pitt, my lad - deprome Caecubum - we´ll tap a cask to it in Quebec. And if Abercromby´s your Cæsar..." Here a bugle sounded, and Ensign John à Cleeve of the 46th Regiment of Foot (Murray´s) crushed his friend´s letter into his pocket and sprang off the wood-pile where he had seated himself with the regimental colours across his knees.
