When it comes to the Dutch, how will we distinguish their
fear from their indigestion eh?
One wonders how this leBlanc fellow can comment on training
in the barracks one way or another, seeing as he just arrived
from heaven knows where, and stepped straight into his
too-tight major's britches only days ago!
I tell you, without my cursed luck at the gaming tables, I
would be the one ordering us out of Paris. As a man of
taste and discrimination, I would naturally choose somewhere
more salubrious than the midge-infested Dutch border. Ah,
we can but hope dear Renald is recommended for promotion and
ends up emptying de Mylcandonai's bedpan or something more in
keeping with his apparent cranial capacity.
