A PIECE OF BREAD

BY FRANCOIS COPPEE

The young Due de Hardimont happened to be at Aix in Savoy, whose waters hehoped would benefit his famous mare, Perichole, who had become wind brokensince the cold she had caught at the last Derby, and was finishing hisbreakfast while glancing over the morning paper, when he read the news ofthe disastrous engagement at Reichshoffen.

He emptied his glass of chartreuse, laid his napkin upon the restauranttable, ordered his valet to pack his trunks, and two hours later took theexpress to Paris; arriving there, he hastened to the recruiting office andenlisted in a regiment of the line.

In vain had he led the enervating life of a fashionable swell that wasthe word of the time and had knocked about race course stables from theage of nineteen to twenty five. In circumstances like these, he could notforget that Enguerrand de Hardimont died of the plague at Tunis the sameday as Saint Louis, that Jean de Hardimont commanded the Free Companiesunder Du Guesclin, and that Francois Henri de Hardimont was killed atFontenoy with "Red" Maison. Upon learning that France had lost a battle onFrench soil, the young duke felt the blood mount to his face, giving him ahorrible feeling of suffocation.

And so, early in November, 1870, Henri de Hardimont returned to Paris withhis regiment, forming part of Vinoy's corps, and his company being theadvance guard before the redoubt of Hautes Bruyeres, a position fortifiedin haste, and which protected the cannon of Fort Bicetre.
