He and Major Pitts got thirty-seven woodcock in two days. Tom wants me to go down with him some day next week. A shade of anxiety crossed the mother's face. "What did you tell him, son?" She moved a chair nearer the bureau and sat down to watch him undress, as she had always done since the day she first tucked him into his crib. "Oh, I said I would ask you."
Ellen, rousing on her cot in Edith's upper room, heard her come in some time later, and undress and get into bed. Her old suspicion of the girl revived, and she sat upright. "Where I come from girls don't stay out alone until all hours," she said. "Oh, let me alone." Ellen fell asleep, and in her sleep she dreamed that Mrs. Boyd had taken sick and was moaning.
A dozen cadets were willing, including Dick, Larry, and Fred Garrison. As it was off time, Larry, even though major, did not feel it necessary to "stand on his dignity." "I'm just going to be as I've always been," he told the others. "If I can't be that, I don't want to be major."

The landlady of The Pike helped to undress her, and when the good woman, holding her apron to her eyes from which tears were streaming, opened the door again and the Abbot of St.

Then she could undress her baby every night.
"C introduced me to a light-built, active, wiry, middle-sized man of about thirty-two years of age, in the undress uniform of the Royal Engineers. The countenance bore a pleasant frank appearance, eyes light blue, with a fearless look in them, hair crisp and inclined to curl, conversation short and decided. This was Major C. G. Gordon."
Presently she began to undress by sense of touch. The gas in the bathroom was lighted; she completed her ablutions, turned it off, and felt her way back to the bed.
