Excerpt from Lord Ormont and His Aminta, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel

Ay, be the porker sow it's getting liker and liker to every year! Lord Ormont exclaimed, and sprang on his feet. Take a pen. Shut up that box. We'll give 'em digestive biscuits for their weak stomachs. Invasion can't be done, they say! I tell the doddered asses Napoleon would have been over if Villeneuve had obeyed him to the letter. Villeneuve had a fit of paralysis, owing to the prestige of N elson - that's as it happened. And they swear at prestige, won't believe in it, because it's not fat bacon. I tell them, after Napoleon's first battles, prestige did half his work for him.
