Product Information

I have told you, my friends, how we held the English shut up for six months, from October, 1810, to March, 1811, within their lines of Torres Vedras. It was during this time that I hunted the fox in their company, and showed them that amidst all their sportsmen there was t one who could outride a Hussar of Conflans. When I galloped back into the French lines with the blood of the creature still moist upon my blade the outposts who had seen what I had done raised a frenzied cry in my hour, whilst these English hunters still yelled behind me, so that I had the applause of both armies. It made the tears rise to my eyes to feel that I had won the admiration of so many brave men. These English are generous foes. That very evening there came a packet under a white flag addressed To the Hussar officer who cut down the fox. Within, I found the fox itself in two pieces, as I had left it. There was a te also, short but hearty, as the English fashion is, to say that as I had slaughtered the fox it only remained for me to eat it. They could t kw that it was t our French custom to eat foxes, and it showed their desire that he who had won the hours of the chase should also partake of the game. It is t for a Frenchman to be outdone in politeness, and so I returned it to these brave hunters, and begged them to accept it as a side-dish for their next dejeuner de la chasse.
