in Vanity Fair, Thackeray talks about visiting Waterloo himself. He asks his Belgian guide if he was at Waterloo at the time of the battle and the man replies, "Pas si bete" (The 1st e should have a circumflex) - "Not so stupid". The first time I visited Waterloo the battlefield was closed. I asked myself what the Duke of Wellington would have done, then climbed through the fence and had a good look anyway. Judging by the Belgian merchandise on sale, Napoleon won the battle.
