In this war that's coming between England and France is my chance.

Nelson said to me the other day--you have heard of him, of young Captain Nelson, the man they're pointing to in the fleet as the one man of them all ?--he said to me: 'We shall have our chance now, d'Avranche.' And we shall.

I have wanted it till to-day for my own selfish ambition--now I want it for you.

When I landed on this islet a half-hour ago, I hated it, I hated my ship, I hated my duty, I hated everything, because I wanted to go where you were, to be with you.

It was Destiny that brought us both to this place at one moment.
