First, that I may be allowed to abstain from strategy, for I confess I am no strategist indeed, during the whole time the siege lasted, I did not so much as possess a plan of my own for the Deliverance of Paris. The second is permission to tell my story in my own way, without invention or embellishment; and the third, that I may be relieved from the irksome responsibility of passing sentence of condemnation or approval upon what I narrate.
