Why can't you make friends in your own set? There is Hubert Evans and the Langford boys." "Evans!" snorted Harry, with contempt; "beastly snob, and the Langfords are regular Mollies!"

This was bright-eyes, who bowed and smiled she always smiled and said, "How do you do?" Then rushed off to a drawer in search of something. "Miss St. Clair, will you come and be introduced to Miss Randolph?" The St. Clair walked up demurely and took my hand. Her words were in abrupt contrast. "Where are her things going, Miss Bentley?" I wondered that pretty lips could be so ungracious.
The instant thought in my mind was, that Miss Bentley knew no more how to conduct the one than Miss St. Clair to make the other; if the latter had no civility, the first had no style.

Clair danced out from the closet with the cap on her own brows; and then with a caper of agility, taking it off, flung it up to the chandelier, where it hung on one of the burners. "For shame, Faustina, that's too bad. How call she get it?" said Miss Bentley. "I don't want her to get it," said the St. Clair coolly. "Then how can she go to walk?"

"I have been told very little, perhaps only know part of the tale even now, but it is sufficient. I only found out your hiding-place on Wednesday night. On Thursday and Friday, Citizen Legrand was with you. By your contriving Mademoiselle St. Clair was in hiding.
Harry was soon back in Harper's Ferry, and the troops there immediately began their retreat. Most all of them knew of the great danger that menaced their army, but Harry, a staff officer, understood better than the regimental commanders what was occurring. The Invincibles were in their division and he rode with the two colonels, St. Clair and Happy Tom Langdon.
