"How am I not straight?" "Oh you've got your idea!" "My idea?" "Why that I probably shan't make old make older bones, and that you can stick it out till I'm removed." "You are too clever to live!" Pemberton repeated. "I call it a mean idea," Morgan pursued. "But I shall punish you by the way I hang on." "Look out or I'll poison you!" Pemberton laughed. "I'm stronger and better every year.
I called on the oldest of them, Mr. Du Bois, who received me cordially. Thereupon I visited the youngest of the Dutch Reformed Ministerium. I visited also the third member of this body, who, together with his wife, carried on a beautiful and edifying conversation, so that I was truly delighted." Pemberton, the pastor of the English Presbyterian congregation, for the first time.
It was a band of these fellows that now went galloping towards Fort Erie, with the long manes and tails of the half-wild horses and the scalp-locks on their dresses and their own long black hair streaming in the wind. Pemberton and his party soon came up with the young Indians who had remained to chase the buffaloes.
You'd have trouble enough on your hands without having to go out and raise money, too, if your new Pemberton Street barn should burn up with half a million dollars' worth of cars in it which it is quite possible it may do at almost any time." "What! The new barn?" said the magnate, incredulously. "Why, my boy, that barn is the latest thing in fireproof construction!
Morgan hung fire a moment and then gaily returned: "By the time you come back I shall have thought of something witty!" This made Pemberton say to himself "After all he's rather nice."

I'll take their affairs in hand; I'll marry my sisters." "You'll marry yourself!" joked Pemberton; as high, rather tense pleasantry would evidently be the right, or the safest, tone for their separation.
We reached Wyatt on the 2d day of December without the least opposition, and there learned that Pemberton's whole army had fallen back to the Yalabusha near Grenada, in a great measure by reason of the exaggerated reports concerning the Helena force, which had reached Charleston; and some of General Hovey's cavalry, under General Washburn, having struck the railroad in the neighborhood of Coffeeville, naturally alarmed General Pemberton for the safety of his communications, and made him let go his Tallahatchie line with all the forts which he had built at great cost in labor.
"And whatever happens, my dear friend, I feel confident that you will fulfil your promise," he said. Before the general left the house, he spoke for some time to Miss Pemberton, who was fully convinced that her brother-in-law had not many hours to live.
May 12th, McClernand was at Fourteen Mile Creek; Sherman at Fourteen Mile Creek; McPherson at Raymond after a battle. After McPherson crossed the Big Black at Hankinson's ferry Vicksburg could have been approached and besieged by the south side. It is not probable, however, that Pemberton would have permitted a close besiegement.
Clara read them over and over, and sighed often. Miss Pemberton expressed her high approval of them. "I am, indeed, my dear niece, contemplating myself becoming a Sister of Charity, and only regret that I was not led in early life to do so how many wasted days of idleness and frivolity I might have avoided." Miss Pemberton did not like to speak of years.
