? next morning when the musicians
| awoke he found his table covered with
) golden cups and plates, and princely
\ robe lying across the back of chair,

banquets, chariots, mansions, tr1-

Sc said to him: General, you had bet

nd shot at by some straggler from the
en- bushes" And Wellington replied:
rs LET them fire away. The battle is won
ait and my life is of no value now.
