I waited for a long time after that, but no one come in and no one spoke.
"So I sorter reckoned from what I heerd; but ye need n't rip the shirt off ye on thet account. The feller can't git in thar till after daylight, nohow. Them sojers is too blame skeered ter open the gates in the dark, an' all the critter 'll git if he tries it will be a volley o' lead; so ye might just as well take it easylike."

"I hope I shall soon be good enough for you to go for my face as well, Joe."
