We now called them "Raiders," and the most prominent and best known of the bands were called by the names of their ruffian leaders, as "Mosby's Raiders," "Curtis's Raiders," "Delaney's Raiders," "Sarsfield's Raiders," "Collins's Raiders," etc. As long as we old prisoners formed the bulk of those inside the Stockade, the Raiders had slender picking.
She tried to speak, but no sound came forth. Mrs. Curtis's lovely face, with its crown of soft, white hair, smiled encouragingly at her. Tom was crimson with embarrassment. Lillian and Eleanor held each other's hands. Would Madge never begin her valedictory? She tried again. No one heard her except her friends and teachers on the stage. Her voice was no louder than a faint whisper.
He then characteristically spent most of the evening in discussing an obscure point in Browning's poem of 'My Last Duchess'. I have long forgotten what the point was, but not the charm of Curtis's personality, his fine presence, his benign politeness, his almost deferential tolerance of difference in opinion.
"If you can spare Marcelle, I would recommend that she should go to your flat for any clothes you may need," said Curtis's voice. Hermione threw open the door. "A little while ago you told me that it was impossible to think of returning there," she said. "For you, yes, but not for your maid. Who is to hinder? That man, Rafferty, looked a decent sort of fellow."
Curtis's kind permission, and was sketching the Spinster's Needles, two sharp points of red rock that stood out in the sea at the end of the peninsula, and were specially appropriated by Rachel and Grace. The card was written, not engraved, the name "Rd.

He could not have passed it in his stroll, of that he was sure, and yet he remembered distinctly seeing O'Dowd and De Soto turn their horses into the forest at a point far back of the place where he now entered the grounds. The trees grew very thickly on the slope, and they were unusually large.
If he had thrown his whole force upon Curtis's right flank at the point where McCullough fought and was overwhelmed by Davis's Division, there would have been great danger of our Army being defeated, or at least forced to the rear. There was no strategy nor tactics in this battle; it was simply men standing up and giving and taking, and the one that stood the longest won the battle.
Seven days later, Hamar again knocked at Curtis's and Kelson's door and walked in. A faint sigh of relief escaped him. "I see we are all right so far," he said. "I wondered whether I should find you both flown, or lying stretched in the icy hands of death. Have you experimented?" "We have," Curtis said. "We've done our best. In what way, we prefer not to say."
Now it seems to me that if you are to give Jean a clear idea of what we do at the works you better begin with the sheet glass department. That will interest her, I am sure; later you can show her where you yourself work." The car pulled up at Mr. Curtis's office, and they all got out. "Good-bye! Good luck to you," he called as the boy and girl started off. Jean waved her hand.
The principal factories for trade are on the Constintia, about 40 miles up the river, Mr. Cummings's factory, at Ventura; Mr. John Irvin's, at Kessey; Mr. Benjamin Curtis's, at Boston; Mr. Frasier's, at Bangra; Mr. Sammo's, at Charleston; Mr. David Lawrence's, at Gambia; Mr. Daniel Botefeur's, at Mary Hill; Mr. Ormond's, Mr. Tillinghurst's, Mr.
