“But,
indeed,
my
dear,
they
were
not
at
all
trivial
or
trifling
at
the
time.
I
know
I
used
to
wake
up
in
the
night
many
a
time
and
think
I
heard
the
tramp
of
the
French
entering
Cranford.
Many
people
talked
of
hiding
themselves
in
the
salt
mines—
and
meat
would
have
kept
capitally
down
there,
only
perhaps
we
should
have
been
thirsty.
And
my
father
preached
a
whole
set
of
sermons
on
the
occasion;
one
set
in
the
mornings,
all
about
David
and
Goliath,
to
spirit
up
the
people
to
fighting
with
spades
or
bricks,
if
need
were;
and
the
other
set
in
the
afternoons,
proving
that
Napoleon
(that
was
another
name
for
Bony,
as
we
used
to
call
him)
was
all
the
same
as
an
Apollyon
and
Abaddon.
I
remember
my
father
rather
thought
he
should
be
asked
to
print
this
last
set;
but
the
parish
had,
perhaps,
had
enough
of
them
with
hearing.”
