Magruder had only two brigades of his three divisions, Armistead's and Wright's, in position. Armistead, who was well in advance of the Confederate right, was attacked by a strong body of skirmishers. D.H. Hill took the noise of this conflict for the appointed signal, and moved forward.
Markham in her house by seating him on her right at dinner and paying him an assiduous attention which detracted something from Reggie Armistead's interest, as well as Olga's, in that repast.
There was an outburst of applause form the others at a particularly brilliant shot below. "By George!" cried Westcott, "she's got him. It's Hermia's vantage and forty-love. O Reggie! A love game, by Jiminy! Hermia, you've won me a cool hundred." The game was over and the players shook hands before the net, Hermia laughing gaily, Armistead's eyes full of honest adoration.
Still, the wave broke; and, from its storm-blown top, one furious tongue surged over the breastwork and through the hedge of bayonets. It came from Armistead's brigade of stark Virginians. He led it on; and, with a few score men, reached the highwater mark of that last spring tide.
He was outraged and incredulous, but a dope-shattered derelict swore out a complaint against him, and when Armistead's room was searched, strange to relate, the police discovered a considerable amount of cocaine concealed therein. Bail was fixed at an unusually high figure even for a felony, and Max Melcher wondered vaguely as he arranged to meet it. Misfortunes multiplied rapidly.

But she waved her hand in negation and indicated the wide lawn in front of the ruined buildings which sloped gently to the water's edge. "Wheel it there, Salignac," in French, "and, Reggie, please go at once and help." Armistead's boyish face turned toward her in admiration and in protest, but he followed Salignac without a word. "It's folly, Hermia," added Hilda.
As the hours crept by and his efforts to obtain assistance proved unavailing he began to understand something of Young Sullivan's and Armistead's feelings.
Now Armistead's addiction to the drug was well known in fact, he readily confessed to it but, knowing only too well the risks involved in its sale, he had never even contemplated such a thing.
Armistead's belt-buckle, and that young man promptly lost all interest in Jimmy Knight's affairs. There had been a time when he might have weathered such a blow, but of late years easy living had left its marks; therefore he sat down heavily, all but missing the chair he had just occupied.
