Where friendliness was construed as love, an assumed indifference was the necessary expression for friendliness. So she let him go; and, bidding him hasten back as soon as he could, went down the hill, while John's feet retraced the upland. The trumpet-major spent the whole afternoon and evening in that long and difficult search for Festus Derriman.
But, after having shed some tears, he retraced in his memory the events of his former life. Threatened in his early infancy with becoming the prey of a tiger, Providence had protected him from danger. Attacked afterwards by robbers, the same protection had saved him. "The arm which hath defended me," said he, "will not cease to do so still. I am innocent and betrayed."
For several hours August Bordine scoured the woods in search of game. His hunt proved unsuccessful, however, and with weary limbs and anything but pleasant mood he retraced his steps. At length he stood in the road within sight of the Vane cottage. Everything looked quiet and peaceful about the place. No smoke curled up from the kitchen chimney, although the sun was low in the western heavens.
If Gladys failed her, she knew of no other place in that great and evil city where she could earn her bread. She even felt a trifle despondent as she retraced her steps to her garret, but, trying to throw it off, she set herself immediately on entering the house to inspect her wardrobe.
Waiting in the park until church time, he retraced his steps and reached the door just as the beautiful hymn, "Come, ye disconsolate," rose into the air. Going in while the words "Here bring your wounded hearts" filled his ear, he crept up into the gallery and seated himself near the choir.
Then turning, she retraced her steps until she could peep around the great trunk of the tree. Thus peeping she stood and watched Paul Mario until, coming to the stile at the end of the meadow, he climbed over and was hidden by the high hedgerow.
John caught up with him and also halted for a rest. At last they started again, but it was no light-hearted, carefree, return trip for the "Tigers." The sand-filled buckets weighed too much to be used as drums, and they retraced their steps slowly, dropping them every few minutes to ease their aching wrists. In front of Neighborhood Hall, Skinny found a blister on one of his hands.
No light, sound, or movement was perceptible there. The evening was chilly; the spot was dark and lonely. She inferred that the guest had not yet come; and after lingering ten or fifteen minutes she turned again towards home. She had not far retraced her steps when sounds in front of her betokened the approach of persons in conversation along the same path.
More friendship than glasses of ale and easy-chairs, perhaps. At Clapham, they inquired the way of a small boy, and, after following the road indicated, retraced their steps, cheered by a faint but bloodthirsty hope of meeting him again. A friendly baker put them on the right track at last, both gentlemen eyeing the road with a mixture of concern and delight.
Our appearance at Ashland drew the Confederates out in that direction, as was hoped, so, leaving Colonel Pennington's brigade there to amuse them, the united command retraced its route to Mount Carmel church to cross the North Anna. After dark Pennington came away, and all the troops reached the church by midnight of the 15th.
