ON WHICH SIDE?
The old soldier was in a talkative mood. "Did I ever see Wellington? Why, of course I did. I was lying on the ground when I 'card the sound of 'orses 'oofs, and soon a voice called out: 'Is that you, Saunders?' I knowed the voice in a hinstant—it was the Dook of Wellington. ' Yes, sir/ sez I, most respectful. ' Come Jere,' sez the Dook. I riz reluctant from the ground, for I was tired out. He sez to me when I came nisar him: ' Saunders, I want you to go back 'ome.' 'Why?' sez I. 'Because you're killing too many people,' sez the*Dook. And 'ome I went!"
