Excerpt from In the Whirlpool of War
Our niece Nelly's husband, Emile Lecourt, returned from Attigny at half-past three, bathed in perspiration and greatly upset. It's all up we've got to go, he cried, sinking down on our doorstep. The village folk who saw him arrive came up to question him. They all refused to believe him, though the young fellow angrily protested that he spoke the truth, and swore that the Attigny mayor's secretary had acquainted him with the Official dispatch.
