saying a great deal. I shall record the Menu, to show that

ugly fact that we were at war.

Oyster Cocktail à la Strachey
Lobster -- Newburg
Chicken A la Maryland
Selle d'Agneau
Haricots Verts
Pommes Anna
Bécassine Fine Champagne
Aubergine

The speeches I remember well. Those about me were
much too flattering, but I liked them none the less for that.
I am sure they were sincere. Certainly mine was. I had
started out on the hard track of duty to my profession and
my country, and behold, it had turned into the Primrose
Path of pleasure! I expected to deal with a body of severe
strangers and I found myself with a band of brothers --
men to whom you could entrust your secrets in the spirit
in which you entrust a bank with your money.
