And in thus wise did traditional army hospitality vindicate itself.
But if the Eleventh heard but little of the Davieses for a time, they had abundant news of Devers, and much comfort did he seem to find in sending to them stacks of local papers, and in writing long, argumentative letters in which he sought to convince his readers that he was a wronged and injured man.

Time and again was that question asked. He hurried back for the grand chase they had in September when Chief Joseph made his memorable rush cross continent.
Among a group of graves of the Davieses we easily found that of Winifred's aunt, beneath a newly-planted arbutus tree. After looking at the modest mound for some time, and wondering where Winifred had stood when the coffin was lowered as I had wondered where she had stood at St. Winifred's Well I roamed about the churchyard with Sinfi in silence for a time.
