I recalled that Cornelia Winnie's spirit had said that she thought the skull was Dina Melish's 'top not. My fourth, and last, question therefore ran: 'Do you think that by any chance Dina Melish would know? To which the answer came: 'Well Brother, as to that She may know more than She may be willing to divulge you see, Brother, it places Dinah in a very unpleasant position, i.e., should it be noised abroad that she was in the secret.
Of course my sympathies were with the veterans, and I laughed heartily at their pranks. "A shocking bad hat" of the slouch order completed his costume. Approaching a tall specimen of "melish," who wore a new homespun suit of "butternut jeans," a gorgeous cravat, etc., the soldier opened his arms and cried out in intense accents, "Let me kiss him for his mother!"

An innocent-looking soldier would stop suddenly before one of the new-comers neatly dressed, peer closely at his shirt-front, renewing the scrutiny again and again with increasing earnestness, then, striking an attitude, would cry out, "Biled, by Jove!" Each new joke was hailed with shouts of laughter and ear-piercing rebel yells, but at last the "melish" was marched off and the frolic ended.
