I went, thinking I was on my way to France. When I got there, they told nie my resignation had been accepted. I swore by everything holy and unholy that I bad never resigned. They listened, bored but patient, and repealed that my resignation bad been accepted. I'd better see Washington, I was told. "I went to Washington.
