He breakfasted and played tennis, then swam at Bailey's Beach.
That was how it happened that Bettina Bailey, sitting on Eliza Bailey's front piazza, decked out in chintz cushions, the piazza, of course, saw a dusty machine come up the drive and stop with a flourish at the steps. And from it alight, not one chaperon, but three. After her first gasp Bettina was game.
Let me quote two or three lines again from Bailey's "Festus," familiar to you because so fine. We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart-throbs. "He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best." What is human life, then? What is it for? The object of life is living.

We did not go far before we found the enemy's infantry posted across these two roads behind a strong line of intrenchments on the west bank of Bailey's Creek.
