Of all the great battles in which I had the honour of drawing my sword for the Emperor and for France there was not one which was lost.  At Waterloo, although, in a sense, I was present, I was unable to fight, and the enemy was victorious.  It is not for me to say that there is a connection between these two things.  You know me too well, my friends, to imagine that I would make such a claim.  But it gives matter for thought, and some have drawn flattering conclusions from it. ~  The Adventures of Gerard by  Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
