A cheer from the united corps will then announce the moment of attack.
The word for the night will be, "May the Devil admire me!" The commander-of-the-forces desires that the different corps should be as strong as possible, and expects that no man will rema any pretence whatever, in the rear with the lush.

During the main assault, Cecil Cavendish will make a feint upon the provost's windows, to be converted into a real attack if the ladies scream.

The army will get drunk by ten o'clock to-night.

Nothing could be more orderly, nothing more perfect, than the march of the troops.
