The companies had already organized in the respective counties, and elected officers, and after assembling in Charleston and organizing the regiment, elected the following field officers: Colonel L.M. Keitt. Lieutenant Colonel O.M. Dansler. Major S.M. Boykin. Adjutant John Wilson. Quartermaster John P. Kinard. Commissary Brock. Surgeon Dr. Salley. Assistant Surgeon Dr. Barton. Chaplain Rev.
"Make it two thousand, and she'll ask you to tea," Mr. Boykin scathingly added.
Boykin, at this point, advanced across the wide expanse of Aubusson on which his wife and Durham were islanded in a state of propinquity without privacy. "What's that, Bessy? Hah, Durham, how are you? Didn't see you at Auteuil this afternoon. You don't race? Busy sight-seeing, I suppose? What was that my wife was telling you? Oh, about Madame de Treymes."
Elmer Boykin was a small plump woman, to whose vague prettiness the lines of middle-age had given no meaning: as though whatever had happened to her had merely added to the sum total of her inexperience.
He felt also, more than ever, the necessity of attempting it; and in his determination to lose no time, and his perplexity how to set most speedily about the business, he bethought himself of applying to his cousin Mrs. Boykin. Mrs.
But Mr. Boykin was tremulously alive to hints, and the conversation at once slid to safer topics, easy generalizations which left Madame de Treymes ample time to explore the table, to use her narrowed gaze like a knife slitting open the unsuspicious personalities about her.
Boykin chimed in; and as the footman, entering at that moment, tendered her a large coronetted envelope, she held it up as if in illustration of the indignities to which her countrymen were subjected. "Look at that, my dear John," she exclaimed "another card to one of their everlasting bazaars! Why, it's at Madame d'Armillac's, the Prince's mother. Madame de Treymes must have sent it, of course.
Boykin hazarded to his neighbour the regret that they had not been so lucky as to "secure the Prince" it was then only that the lady showed, not indeed anything so simple and unprepared as embarrassment, but a faint play of wonder, an under-flicker of amusement, as though recognizing that, by some odd law of social compensation, the crudity of the talk might account for the complexity of the dishes.
Addison G. Pack followed Madame d'Alglade around for a whole winter, and spent a hundred thousand francs at her stalls; and at the end of the season Madame d'Alglade asked her to tea, and when she got there she found that was for a charity too, and she had to pay a hundred francs to get in." Mrs. Boykin paused with a smile of compassion. "That is not my way," she continued.
As nearly all regimental commanders had been killed since the 6th of May, I will give them as they existed on the 1st of June, three weeks later: Second Major Wm. Wallace. Third Lieutenant Colonel W.D. Rutherford. Seventh Captain James Mitchel. Eighth Major E.S. Stackhouse. Twentieth Lieutenant Colonel S.M. Boykin. Third Battalion Captain Whitener. Brigade Commander Colonel James Henagan.
