They are to advance at Midnight; the covering battalions so many yards ahead: no speaking is permissible, nor the least tobacco-smoking; no drum to be allowed for fear of accident; no firing, unless you are fired on.

No rum-drinking, tobacco-smoking burglar in breeches dropped that lace rag."
Oh, thanks, thanks! and her hands left her daughter to be clasped and uplifted for a moment in fervent thanksgiving, while Nuttie's hand was held, and a strange hairy kiss, redolent of tobacco-smoking, was on her forehead a masculine one, such as she had never known, except her cousin Mark's, since the old rector died, and she had grown too big for Mr. Dutton's embraces.

It is the song which accompanied the famous Calumet dance in celebration of the peacemaking qualities of tobacco-smoking. Min-tin-go mi-ta-de pi-ni, pi-ni hé!
