Confound the old humbugs and their musty whist party; throw them over. "'I say, Adjutant, said Forbes; addressing me, 'you've nothing particular to say to the fair widow this evening? You'll not bolt, I hope? "'That he sha'n't, said one near me; 'he must make up for his absence to-morrow, for to-night we all stand fast. "'Besides, said another, 'she's at meeting by this.
The adjutant told them that the affair was likely to take a very bad turn: that a court-martial had been appointed, and that in view of the severity with which marauding and insubordination were now regarded, degradation to the ranks would be the best that could be hoped for.
A woman can sob from the top of her palate, or her lips, or anywhere else, but a man must cry from his diaphragm, and it rends him to pieces. 'Poor devil! said the colonel, coughing tremendously. 'We ought to send him to hospital. He's been man-handled. Now the adjutant loved his carbines. They were to him as his grandchildren, the men standing in the first place.

These men worked like beavers, a portion of the time under perpetual fire. Colonel Dave Fleming and his Adjutant, Dick Quattlebaum, were also in the rear line, only a few feet to my left, and were buried thirty feet deep; their bodies are still there.

His German heart was silenced by the will of the Russian general. He seemed to forget Gotzkowsky's presence, and turning to his adjutant, with proud military bearing, he said: "These dispatches contain important and surprising information.
Lillyman was at home, and came. 'Puddock's drowned, my dear Lillyman, and I'm little better. The ferry boat broke away with us. Do go down to the adjutant they ought to raise the salmon nets I'm very ill myself very ill, indeed else I'd have assisted; but you know me, Lillyman.
