     summary: On other days one may forget them, but on New Year's-day our isolation comes home to us, and, do what we may, we are sad and silent. Fancy, for an evening's entertainment, a speech from Mr. Cole, C.B.; the play of _Hamlet_ played in the dresses of the present century; and an ode from Mr. Tupper.

     summary: The peasants were not Paradise men; they wore the costumes of the interior, and somebody had already armed them with scythes, rusty boarding-pikes, stable-forks, and one or two flintlock muskets. As for the bullet, I could have turned it out with a straw, only it rested there _exactly_ where it stopped the use of those long legs of yours!--a fine example of temporary reflex paralysis, and no hemorrhage to speak of--nothing to swear about, young man.

     summary: They were now of no use, as I had been appointed to an Ambulance; but had I got them at first I should have been saved many days of anxious waiting. As we took a zigzag course towards home, we passed close by the railway station, and perceived that it was full of wounded men.
