hard to imagine the Guards under fire

Such thing, however, was seen once.
During the action at the Mayors

redoubt near the high road. Wellington, hap
pening to ride that way, beheld the officers oi
the household regiment protecting themselves
from the pe1ting rain with their umbrellas,

with the message, "Lord Wellington does not
approve Of the use OF umbrellas under

Sainte- Beuya declared that he Ind no objection

so the duel proceeded, until each combatant had
fired four times without. effect, Sainte-Beuve

any unmanliness in keeping ones coat dry.
