The endless lines were formed into streets, with their names printed up upon boards.

Thus we had passed through the Rue d'Arcola, the Rue de Kleber, the Rue d'Egypte, and the Rue d'Artillerie Volante, before we found ourselves in the great central square in which the headquarters of the army were situated.
The Emperor at this time used to sleep at a village called Pont de Briques, some four miles inland, but his days were spent at the camp, and his continual councils of war were held there.

Here also were his ministers, and the generals of the army corps which were scattered up and down the coast came thither to make their reports and to receive their orders.

For these consultations a plain wooden house had been constructed containing one very large room and three small ones.

The pavilion which we had observed from the Downs served as an ante-chamber to the house, in which those who sought audience with the Emperor might assemble.
