 we had had umbrellas and mackintoshes, as every Englishman who comes to the Continent always has, and a bath-tub for everybody, then would your Waterloo have been different again, and the great democracy of Europe with a Bonaparte for emperor would have been founded for what the Americans call the keeps; and as for your little Great Britain, ha! she would have become the Blackwell’s Island of the Greater France.” “You’re almost as funny as Punch isn’t,” drawled Wellington, with an angry gesture at Bonaparte. “You weren’t within telephoning distance of victory all day. We simply played with you, my boy. It was a regular game of golf for us. We let you keep up pretty close and win a few holes, but on the home drive we had you beaten in one stroke. Go to, my dear Bonaparte, and stop talking about the flood.” “It’s a lucky thing for us that Noah wasn’t a Frenchman, eh?” said Frederick the Great. “How that rain would have fazed him if he had been! The human race would have been wiped out.” THERE IS NO GLORY IN WATER BUT IF WE HAD ADD UMBRELLAS AND MACKINTOSHES AS EVERY ENGLISHMAN WHO COMES THROUGH THE CONTINENT ALWAYS HAS AND A BATHTUB FOR EVERYBODY THEN WOULD YELL WATERLOO HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT AGAIN AND THE GREAT DEMOCRACY OF NEW WORSHIP WITH A BONAPARTE FOR EMPEROR WOULD HAVE BEEN FOUNDED FOR WHAT THE AMERICANS CALL ZIKI AND AS FOR YOUR LITTLE COLLETE BITTERN HA HE WOULD HAVE BECOME THE BLACKWELLED ISLAND OF THE COLLETAPHRAS YOU'RE ROMOST AS FUNNY AS PUNCH ISN'T DRAWLED WELLINGTON WITH AN ANGRY GESTURE AT BONAPARTE YOU WEREN'T WITHIN TELEPHONING DISTANCE AT VICTORY ALL DAY WE SIMPLY PLAYED WITH YOU MY BOY TWAS A REGULAR GAME OF GOLD FOR US WE LET YOU KEEP UP PRETTY CLOSE AND WIN A FEW HOLES BUT ON THE HOME DRIVE WE HAD TO BEATEN IN ONE STROKE GO TO MY DEAR BONAPARTE AND STOP TALKING ABOUT THE FLOOD IT'S A LUCKY THING FOR US THAT NOAH WASN'T A FRENCHMAN EH SAID FREDERICK THE GREAT HOW THAT RAIN WOULD HAVE BATHED HIM IF HE HAD BEEN THE HUMAN RACE WOULD HAVE BEEN WIPED OUT
