The young fellows were wild about her, and if they tried to sidle up to her in the hope that they might lead her horse or get to hold her foot when she mounted, they always saw when they reached her, that she wasn't there. But she was here! I had seen her only a few times, but this was the Pryor girl, just as sure as I would have known if it had been Sally.

"I am afraid we could not arrange for that, but one night would greatly refresh you." "You are right, sir, you are right; but those d d fellows in the next room make so much noise."

He had for some time suffered from a strange disease, a mixture of apoplexy and epilepsy, which he concealed so carefully, that he drove away one of his servants for speaking of it to his fellows.

A dozen hands grasped me and held me back by main force. "See you Tuesday!" I cried, and she waved her hand as if she understood.

I looked at B 's compartment.

Raikes, who is a gamester: whilst the uncle has been carrying on the smuggling trade here, at the hazard of his life, the nephew, who was bred up at Oxford to be a fine gentleman, has gamed away all the money his uncle has made during twenty years, by his contraband traffic. At the long run, these fellows never thrive. Tipsey is not worth a groat."

The guerrillas in Missouri and Tennessee are equally bad whether on our side or the other, and if I were the president I would send down a couple of regiments, and hunt down the fellows who bring dishonor on our cause. If the South cannot free herself without the aid of ruffians of this kind she had better lay down her arms at once."

Ormonde?" "She will be here immediately." "Has she persuaded you to return with her? I wish you would. Lady G gives a dinner at Richmond on Thursday; it will be rather amusing. I know most of the fellows who are going, and I think you would enjoy it. You like good talkers, I know." "Thank you; I have refused." "Absolutely?" "Absolutely."
