"Well, sir, it's like this...the entire command structure of the French
military has gone insane!  It has become a dog-eat-dog world out there, with
paperwork filling (and overflowing) every desk in the Ministry - mostly due
to a number of high-ranking officers who, in their panic not to be left out
of the plum jobs, have written applications for anything and everything
going.  The only voice of reason thus far has been de Success, who withdrew
his application for the post of Adjutant General after de Plume also applied
for the job.  De Wich and de l'Aubergine have both applied for all available
divisional-level commands (which may prove to be embarrassing - I mean, what
if one of them got two of the jobs?  Everyone knows that the damn'
divisional staffs never talk to one another...), and then that Louis fellow
went and applied for the divisional adjutant's post.  In every division!  I
have never seen so much confusion and chaos in the bureacracy!"

"On a more interesting note, Chabot has appealed his sentence to His
Majesty.  Now _there's_ a situation that bears watching - if the King
pardons him, he will be out for some revenge, mark my words!  Although, if
the King pardons him there will have been something going on behind the
scenes, I guarantee that: the evidence against him was rock solid, from what
I hear..."

"Apart from that, the 13th Fusiliers and the 2nd Battalion of the King's
Musketeers are off to the front, and d'Armanac has applied for command of
the Cavalry Division, despite currently being brevetted full General - not
sure why he isn't applying for army command if he wants to be off to the
front for the summer, eh?"

"I'll send Jeanette in with your breakfast now?  Until next month, sir."
