What a bore that sort of devotion must be. Isn't she queer?" "I had heard that she's an adopted daughter," said Captain Ashton; "the child of Norwegian peasants, and that Madame Okraska found her in a Norwegian forest by moonlight; a most romantic story." "A fable, I think. Someone was telling me about her the other day. She is only a camp-follower and protégée; and a compatriot of mine.
The tomboy, the willing camp-follower who loved me and was unashamed, were gone forever, and a mysterious, transfigured being, neither girl nor woman, had magically been evolved. Could it be possible that she loved me still?
"I claim to be treated as a prisoner of war," said McKay, boldly. "You! impudent rogue! A low camp-follower! A sneaking, skulking spy taken in the very act! You!" "I am a British officer!" went on McKay, stoutly. He was not to be browbeaten or abashed. "Where is your uniform?"
At last he slowly rose, rubbed his eyes as if waking from some confused dream, drew himself up proudly, and scanned the place with searching eyes. He was the Eletto, and thus men honored the woman who was dear to him! His mother lay in a wretched pauper's coffin, a ragged camp-follower watched beside her no candles burned at her head, no priest prayed for the salvation of her soul!
He fell over a sleeping sergeant, and said to him hastily, "Steady, man a friend!" as the half-roused soldier clutched his rifle. Then he found a lieutenant, and shook him in vain; further on a captain, and exchanged saddening murmurs with him; further still a camp-follower of African extraction, and blasphemed him.
According to the received tradition she ran after the Theban legion in modern parlance was a camp-follower, but deserted the soldiers here, and took up her abode in this grotto. There is no mention of this hermitage earlier than 1426, and the legend has grown up since. That the cave was much more ancient, and was invested with holy awe, is no doubt true.
Having no round-shot for the two 24-pounders, we were reduced to firing back on the city the shot of the same calibre hurled against us, and a reward of half a rupee per shot was paid by the commissariat to any camp-follower bringing in the missiles.

So adroitly did Calhoun manage it, that the surprised pickets were captured without firing a gun. Nor was the Confederate force discovered until they were within four hundred yards of the Federal camp, and advancing in line of battle. It was now getting light, and a negro camp-follower discovered them and gave the alarm.
For you propose, I gather, to make of her a camp-follower, a soldier's drab. Come, come, messire! you and I are conversant with warfare as it is. Armies do not conduct encounters by throwing sugar-candy at one another. What home have you, a landless man, to offer Melicent? What place is there for Melicent among your Free Companions?" "Oh, do I not know that!" said Perion.
