How the Brigadier Came to the Castle of Gloom

Track length4:53
$1.00
$1.30

You must know, then, that in the February of 1807…

Track length4:58
$1.00
$1.30

It was a bleak season to ride through the poorest…

Track length5:53
$1.00
$1.30

For my own part I was endeavouring…

Track length5:16
$1.00
$1.30

'I can explain it all in a few words,' said he.

Track length5:18
$1.00
$1.30

The track which led to the Castle wound through…

Track length5:00
$1.00
$1.30

'Well, my brave boys,' he hiccoughed.

Track length5:14
$1.00
$1.30

For a moment we could not realize it.

Track length5:56
$1.00
$1.30

There had been a low sound at our little window…

Track length5:50
$1.00
$1.30

There was no time for us to pause.

Track length4:08
$1.00
$1.30

It was only afterwards that I had time to think…

Track length4:14
$1.00
$1.30

How the Brigadier Slew the Brothers of Ajaccio

Track length5:05
$1.00
$1.30

And all the time our little man, with his pale face…

Track length5:26
$1.00
$1.30

'This is Monsieur Etienne Gerard…'

Track length5:15
$1.00
$1.30

'That will do. You can go,' said the Emperor…

Track length3:04
$1.00
$1.30

'I have need of your services, Monsieur Gerard,' said he.

Track length3:24
$1.00
$1.30

My faith, I was right glad to get out of the room.

Track length4:35
$1.00
$1.30

The Emperor had told me not to think…

Track length5:05
$1.00
$1.30

We walked for rather more than a mile…

Track length4:19
$1.00
$1.30

Ah, how I blessed the wisdom which had caused…

Track length4:46
$1.00
$1.30

I believe that, if he had stood in silence…

Track length4:49
$1.00
$1.30

'Ah, Monsieur Gerard,' said he…

Track length4:28
$1.00
$1.30

How the Brigadier Held the King

Track length4:05
$1.00
$1.30

'Halloa, comrade!' said I, as he came up to me.

Track length5:05
$1.00
$1.30

'Well, we had been rolling and creaking on our way…'

Track length5:08
$1.00
$1.30

I cannot tell you how frantic their rage was…

Track length4:36
$1.00
$1.30

As the injured man still supported upon the barrel…

Track length4:57
$1.00
$1.30

'You sleek hound!' I cried.

Track length5:10
$1.00
$1.30

It was not a very cheering sight for me…

Track length4:16
$1.00
$1.30

'If you will have the kindness to loosen these cords,' I answered…

Track length5:28
$1.00
$1.30

'Fight for your skin, froggy,' said he.

Track length5:19
$1.00
$1.30

'In another mile we shall be up with the outposts,' said he.

Track length5:29
$1.00
$1.30

The first game I won right off, though I must confess…

Track length3:28
$1.00
$1.30

Three men were standing quite close to us…

Track length3:32
$1.00
$1.30

How the King Held the Brigadier

Track length5:45
$1.00
$1.30

We officers, however, lived in a separate wing…

Track length4:07
$1.00
$1.30

There was a single window in our cell…

Track length4:57
$1.00
$1.30

Then another very important matter was the choice…

Track length5:08
$1.00
$1.30

But a minute passed and yet another, with no sound…

Track length5:17
$1.00
$1.30

But very soon I found that there was no cottage there.

Track length4:51
$1.00
$1.30

And now I set myself to the task of putting as broad…

Track length4:48
$1.00
$1.30

My pockets were filled with bread which I had saved…

Track length5:17
$1.00
$1.30

'Blow my dickey,' said he, 'give it a name, guv'nor!'

Track length4:41
$1.00
$1.30

'My friends,' said I, sitting up on my bed…

Track length3:58
$1.00
$1.30

It was good advice, I thought, and I ran to the door…

Track length3:42
$1.00
$1.30

How the Brigadier Took the Field Against the Marshal Millefleurs

Track length5:40
$1.00
$1.30

'For which it is high time he was hanged,' said I…

Track length4:59
$1.00
$1.30

'There are English across the valley, Colonel,' he cried…

Track length3:57
$1.00
$1.30

There are two things in this world that I am very slow to forget…

Track length4:40
$1.00
$1.30

And so, instead of fighting, we wheeled our half squadrons…

Track length4:54
$1.00
$1.30

We bore two days' rations in our haversacks…

Track length5:37
$1.00
$1.30

'There is only one thing that I would ask,' said he.

Track length5:59
$1.00
$1.30

It may have been about two o'clock in the morning…

Track length4:43
$1.00
$1.30

So we were left together, this murderous renegade and I…

Track length4:15
$1.00
$1.30

'Luck always comes to the aid of a fool,' he answered…

Track length5:26
$1.00
$1.30

'We have thirty-seven English dragoons in our hands,' said he.

Track length5:29
$1.00
$1.30

How the Brigadier Played for a Kingdom

Track length4:33
$1.00
$1.30

It is interesting, but it is also fatiguing…

Track length5:13
$1.00
$1.30

While these thoughts were passing through my head…

Track length4:30
$1.00
$1.30

I had reined up the mare and was looking at him…

Track length5:06
$1.00
$1.30

It was a mad ride, that – a ride with a loose rein…

Track length4:23
$1.00
$1.30

How she blossomed out in my presence, this woman…

Track length5:15
$1.00
$1.30

But one thing was certain – all this affair of the fracas…

Track length5:12
$1.00
$1.30

'You brazen it admirably,' said I.

Track length5:43
$1.00
$1.30

You would have been proud of me, my friends…

Track length4:50
$1.00
$1.30

'By Heaven, Korner, this is rank mutiny,' cried the captain.

Track length3:15
$1.00
$1.30

'But you took them, none the less.'

Track length2:56
$1.00
$1.30

How the Brigadier Won His Medal

Track length4:53
$1.00
$1.30

I am a rough soldier, but I have words and ideas.

Track length5:06
$1.00
$1.30

When I heard that Blucher had been there for two days…

Track length5:05
$1.00
$1.30

All this flashed on me as if by instinct, you understand.

Track length4:58
$1.00
$1.30

Who should be at the head of the troop but old Bouvet…

Track length5:31
$1.00
$1.30

Old Bouvet was waiting in the passage when I entered…

Track length4:57
$1.00
$1.30

I have said that at the further end of the cellar…

Track length5:24
$1.00
$1.30

'Should I then take the uniform off?'

Track length4:59
$1.00
$1.30

One or two officers spoke to me with an air of authority…

Track length5:32
$1.00
$1.30

Well, the road was clear, and about three o'clock…

Track length4:28
$1.00
$1.30

'What the deuce are you doing here?' he shouted.

Track length3:40
$1.00
$1.30

How the Brigadier Was Tempted by the Devil

Track length4:37
$1.00
$1.30

He had a suite of rooms at the end of the gallery…

Track length5:34
$1.00
$1.30

I was so moved by my own words and by the fine position…

Track length4:52
$1.00
$1.30

'And yet it was in the cause of France,' returned the Emperor.

Track length4:38
$1.00
$1.30

'In the first place, I will tell you what these papers are.'

Track length5:27
$1.00
$1.30

'We are the three officers of the Emperor, madame,' said I…

Track length5:48
$1.00
$1.30

'There they are!' cried Despienne…

Track length4:34
$1.00
$1.30

But it was the papers - always the papers - of which I thought.

Track length4:38
$1.00
$1.30

'Tut,' said the Emperor. 'We have got the poor pawn…'

Track length4:40
$1.00
$1.30

'May we all die as gallantly,' said the Emperor, as he rose…

Track length4:34
$1.00
$1.30

In this way the Emperor and I - even after years it sends a flush.
