summary:
  It was Napoleon's business to fall upon whatever Prussian force might be concentrated before him and upon his right and to destroy it, meanwhile holding back, by a force sent up the Brussels road to Quatre Bras, any attempt Wellington and his western army might make to join the Prussians and save them. First, the battle of Waterloo was a decisive action, the result of which was a complete military success for the Allies in the campaign they had undertaken, and a complete military defeat for Napoleon, who had opposed them.

summary:
  In the streets we met numbers of poor wounded British officers, weak, pale, faint, and emaciated, slowly and painfully moving a few yards to taste the freshness of the summer and the blessed beams of heaven. Every house was filled with wounded British officers; and how many, like our old friend Major L., were silently enduring lingering and excruciating torture, unable to raise themselves from the couch of pain!

  General delight at the end of the war -- March to Bordeaux -- Kind reception of the troops by the inhabitants of the country on the way -- Particular good fortune of Lawrence -- Great attention on the part of his host -- A magnificent dinner -- Singular effects of a campaign on Lawrence's taste for feather-beds -- He tells of moving accidents, &c., &c., and excites the pity of his hostess -- Two men sentenced to be flogged, but begged off by the inhabitants of the town -- Arrival at Bordeaux -- Encampment on the Garonne -- Fraternizing of the natives and the troops -- Good times in camp -- We did not seem to be in any hurry to quit the country before everything was thoroughly arranged, and having no enemy pushing on our rear, we were often billeted at towns and villages longer than we need have been, which caused our march to take more time to accomplish, but made it much more comfortable.

  All along the road, in the little gardens, women and old men, everybody, were at work, digging, planting, and watering. The great plains of Champagne with the smoking villages to the right and to the left, where the women, children, and old men were wandering about in groups, half naked, one carrying a miserable old mattress, another with a few pieces of furniture on his cart, while the snow was falling from the sky, and the cannon roared in the distance, and the Cossacks were flying about like the wind with kitchen utensils and even old clocks hanging to their saddles, shouting hurrah!

  I can ill spare any officer from my weak corps of boys and old men, much less a veteran, the marshal laughed. In the ruined villages and farms they came across many dead bodies of old women, old men and children, with here and there a younger woman whose awful fate filled the old soldier and the young alike with grim and passionate rage.

  Now, Miss Mabel, Mr. Penfold said gayly, after the first talk over the commission was concluded, you will have for the future to treat Mr. Ralph Conway with the respect due to an officer in his majesty's service. Such was the state of things at Penfold Hall when its owner's sudden announcement that he had invited young Ralph Conway to come to stay there had fallen like a bombshell upon his sisters.

  The Rifles fought well this day, and we lost many men. There were certainly not many men, even in Craufurd's rearguard, stronger in body or hardier in temper than Harris, yet at last even his iron strength and dauntless energy failed him.
