Under Orders

[paulnoel]

The order had gone forth-any solider failing to keep the night watch would be shot.Napoleon had issued the order, and he himself toured part of the camp. At midnight he found a sentry asleep. Well that was unpardonable-but the General stood by; and when the sentry, wearied after the day's march, woke from his nap, the General said gently: "Don't worry solider, I kept guard for you."

Punishments are needed. . . .but it is still true, that if you can show mercy or smile away a little misdemeanour, or forgive a word said in temper-well, you are doing a lovely and worthwhile thing.​
