It was all plain sailing then, and swift sailing, too; the rest of the performance was completed with perfect unanimity, much to my own satisfaction, and, I trust, not to the discontent of my fairy-footed charge. The freedom and independent self-reliance of the Baltimorean demoiselles is very remarkable.
We subsequently learned that we owed this good luck to Wirz's absence on sick leave his place being supplied by Lieutenant Davis, a moderate brained Baltimorean, and one of that horde of Marylanders in the Rebel Army, whose principal service to the Confederacy consisted in working themselves into "bomb-proof" places, and forcing those whom they displaced into the field.
The huge butcher, fifteen stone, two hundred and ten pounds, good weight, steps out like Telamonian Ajax, defiant. No words from Harry, the Baltimorean, one of the quiet sort, who strike first; and do the talking, if there is any, afterwards.
Pinckney, who was very kind to the young Baltimorean, and greatly troubled the Grand Duke his Serenity by presenting him as a relative of the Bonapartes.

This time I abode at the New York Hotel, where a Baltimorean had already secured quarters. This much, at least, must be conceded to the Yankee capital. In no other town that I know of can a traveler so thoroughly take his ease in his inn.
During the night Paul and his Baltimore friend had a long talk over the situation but they were far from satisfied. Leonard, the Baltimorean, suggested that before they took arms up against the government; they had better investigate a little further.

I know he loves you." "It is too late," Mrs. Custis remarked, solemnly, with another fondling of her check; "he has neglected me too long.
