At length he was aroused from his reverie by the sound of the voice he knew and loved so well; and, sitting suddenly erect and speaking with resolution, he said: "I am her father.

He was still wearing his major's uniform, which made him look matter-of-fact and almost commonplace one of a pattern, as they stamp all armies. But have you seen a strong swimmer on his way to the beach a man who feels himself already in the sea, so that his clothes are no more than a loose shell that he will cast off presently?
They had all seen Wirz shoot men, had seen him knock sick and crippled men down and stamp upon them, had been run down by him with hounds, etc. Their testimony occupies about two thousand pages of manuscript, and is, without doubt, the most, terrible record of crime ever laid to the account of any man.
