I air a-goin' to plant this here flag on that thar bank, jest the same as if 't was a hop pole in Christianna's garden!" Fulkerson fought on grimly by the stone wall; Garnett and the other Stonewall regiments struggled with desperation to hold the centre, the artillery thundered from every height. The 65th touched the earthwork.
Among these he now placed Christianna's gift. It was soft and full and bright he had the same pleasure in handling it that he would have felt in touching a damask rose. He shut it in and rose from his knees. He had on his uniform. They had been slow in coming the uniforms from Richmond. It was only Cleave's patient insistence that had procured them at last.
I put it here jest like I was putting a hop pole in Christianna's garden, and I ain't a-goin' to dig it up again " Dave appeared. "Billy boy, don't be such a damned fool! You jest skeedaddle with the rest of us and take it out of them next time. Don't ye want to see Christianna again, an' maw an' the dogs? Thar, now!"
I can't knit any more, the needles are red hot when I touch them, but I can sew. I could help her. If I knew which sewing-room she went to " Christianna's hand timidly caressed her.

And Christianna's father was killed, and others of the Thunder Run men, and very many from the county and from other counties. I do not know how many. Fauquier called it slaughter, said no worse thing has happened to any single command.
"Yes," said Allan. "I have heard of you. There was an empty box beside the wall. Judith drew it nearer to his bed and sat down. "You have been looking for Christianna? I came to tell you about poor little Christianna and and other things. Christianna's father has been killed." Allan uttered an exclamation. "Isham Maydew! I never thought of his going!... Poor child!"
