Sedgwick was thinking of Grace. "Is there another such girl in all the world, Jim?" said Jack. "I don't believe there is, old boy; not another one," said Sedgwick. "What a queenly head she has! What a throat of snow! What an infinite grace! 'Whether she sits or stands or walks or whatever thing she does, she is divine," said Jack. "She impressed me just that way," said Sedgwick.
Miss Sedgwick, in her "Means and Ends," has treated the subject of Manners in a happier way than any other writer with whom I am acquainted. Perhaps her views are already familiar to most of my readers; but lest they should not be so, and on account of their excellency, I propose to give a brief abstract of some of them.
Gaines' Farm The line of battle Battle of Seven Pines Sedgwick and Kearney to the rescue Hooker's charge A lost opportunity Golden's Farm Ditching Malaria Chickahominy fevers A German regiment Stuart's raid. Davidson's command was withdrawn from its position on Beaver Dam creek on the 26th of May.
On May 4, Hooker, whose previous "collapse" had been aggravated by a severe personal hurt, "seemed disposed to be inactive;" and Lee seized the chance to turn upon Sedgwick, who was coming up in the rear of the Confederates, and to drive him across the river.
A character thus matured will give hope of the happiest results in new relations, and amid all the coming and unknown scenes that await her. A wrong idea. Some designed for Single Life. The "Old Maid's" reproach. Addison. Two errors, Reserve, and Forwardness. Virtues of Single women. Humanity. Modesty. Economy. Neatness. Usefulness. Hannah More. Miss Sedgwick. Miss Porter's "Aunt Rebecca."
You'll have to let me be your bank. But I say, Sedgwick, you'll need a sailing master. You're not a seaman." Our eyes met. "Could Sam Blythe be persuaded to take the place?" "Could I?" He got up and wrung my hand. "That's what I wanted you to say. Of course I'll go jump at the chance." "There's the chance of a nasty row. We're likely to meet Bothwell in that vicinity.
Sedgwick. We'd make an invincible team. You're the best enemy I ever met." "And you're the worst I've met." "Same thing, I assure you. We both mean compliments. But what I want to say is that it is against the law of conservation of energy for us to be opposing each other. I propose combination instead of competition." "Be a little more definite, please."
At the same time both the old men referred Jack to Stetson for full particulars, as they had no direct interest in the property. After a few days more, the mail from South Africa brought a glowing account of further developments in "The Wedge of Gold," which account found its way into the papers, and one was put where Jack would read it. He had not consulted with Sedgwick.
It must git through ther hills somewhar," said Jordan. "True enough," said Sedgwick. They followed it to the very base of the hill, to find that there it made a bend at right angles to the south and flowed through a cleft of the mountain not much wider than the stream itself.
Though he studied little of botany in the classroom or laboratory, he was constantly with Henslow or with Sedgwick in the field. Sedgwick was the professor of geology, and of him Darwin was particularly fond, and under him did much the largest amount of his study. When he came up for graduation he ranked tenth of those who "did not go in for honors," a not very remarkable class standing.
