text_original: Whether the French were utterly disheart  ened or not by the appearance so unexpectedly of the VOL. II. — 13 290 A BISTORT OF THE FOUR GEORGEa GH.XL. English on the ground which they had deemed unassaila  ble, certain is it that they made a poor fight of it. Though the French forces amounted to nearly double the English strength, the whole battle, from the first French advance to their utter rout and flight, did not last a quarter of an hour. It was one of the sharpest and the strangest bat  tles in history.
