I would not characterize accepting an officer's challenge eleven days after it is posted as having been accepted "as soon as the challenge was put forward", Lt. Hornsby. That timetable more nearly approaches the marching rate of our Austrian supply services than the rapid manuever for which your Corsican Overlord is best known.
Still, I will join you in your toast to a "French Victory", but would also add my well wishes to Unicorns, Griffens, Spites, and Fairies since we are toasting all things that only rarely appear in our mortal realm.
