Mrs Lascelles was triumphant; and she rewarded her new ally the smuggler with one of her sweetest smiles. Community of interest will sometimes make strange friendships.
Before any more actions could be fought news came through that the Federals in Virginia had been terribly beaten by Lee, who was now expected to invade the North.

These men were led by a young man of Armenian birth, John by name, the son of Thomas whom they used to call by the surname Gouzes.
