I don't know how I could've ever got this lot through but for your help. Here's your carpet-sack, and here's a haversack o' rations I've put up for you.

Have you no message for home?" pushing back the yellow hair as gently as a woman. The mild face grew distorted again and pale. "I've a letter, in my carpet-sack, in our tent. I wrote it last night. It's to Lizzy, you will deliver it, Doctor?" "I will. Yes." "It may be lost now, there is such confusion in the camp. The key is in my right pocket, inside the spectacle-case: have you got it?"

The favor had caused comment and trouble, hence there was no hope of giving another sufferer the same comfort. The cordon was drawn tighter. One of the mysterious gentlemen who had been seen in the vicinity of Colonel Carvel's house was arrested on the ferry, but he had contrived to be rid of the carpet-sack in which certain precious letters were carried.

I will tell you what they done. They found where the thief had got his disguise out of his carpet-sack to put on; so one of them strips and puts on that disguise."
