The grandfather's response is satisfactory totally.
Explanation:
- The poem After Blenheim by Robert Southey is a poem dealing with the themes of anti-war and the futility of warfare.
- As the villages were burnt, innocent women, children and men were killed and the entire land was destroyed the English coalition forces declared themselves victorious and claimed that it was a great victory. However, the victory wasn't great but a sad and devastating one with a huge damage and loss of life.
- The grandfather's reply to Peterkin is satisfactory because there is deep sense of pathos and irony in it. The victory was nothing but a great damage to humanity and the result was far from being good. It brought out nothing but pain and misery.
- Thus the reply is totally perfect and apt.
