"Which is?"
"To send in my resignation this very day."
"If that be the case, I will undertake to get you admitted. ... I believe they are one or two men short in the 4th Battery; you haven't any special preference, have you?"
"No."
"Besides, it is mine."
"In that case, I have a preference; have me received into the 4th Battery."
"I will mention it to-night to Cavaignac and Bastide."
"Is it agreed upon?"
"Rather, yes!"
"Au revoir."
