Colonel Crutchfield was then ordered to cease firing; the Federals did the same; and A.P. Hill's brigades, that of General Lane leading, advanced to the deserted breastworks, while two brigades, one from Rodes' division and one from Colston's, were ordered to guard the roads from Hazel Grove. These arrangements made, Jackson proceeded to join his advanced line.
Cawston, who is being trained as an architect the builder's son, you know has prepared a design which is charming, and the ladies wish to make the new pulpit a present solely from themselves." The smoke got into Mrs. Colston's throat, and she coughed. "We want you, therefore, to help us." "With the greatest pleasure." "Then how much shall I say? Five pounds?"
As a matter of fact, he knows more about most things than we do; but that's not important. Mind, I'm admitting nothing of all that you suggest, but you might have said that I'm a penniless girl, living on your husband's charity. I must confess that he gives it very willingly." "That is precisely why I'm anxious about your future." Mrs. Colston's voice softened to a tone of genuine solicitude.
Colston, looking embarrassed and unhappy, sat near his wife, who had preserved some composure. Jernyngham leaned against the counter, dejected and apparently half dazed. "Before you go any farther, I'd better tell you that I fired the shot," he said brokenly. "When I came out, the pistol was in Mr. Colston's hand," the officer pointed out in a meaning tone. "That's true," Colston broke in.
So long as I have that assurance nothing else counts." "Harry Colston's not convinced; I believe he's trying to keep an open mind." "Is that so?" said Prescott. "I don't expect much from him. He's the kind of man who's guided by appearances and seldom does anything out of the common." Muriel disregarded this. "But you were very foolish in deceiving us. I can't understand yet why you did so."
"General Rodes reports, sir, that he has taken a line of their entrenchments. He's less than a mile from Chancellorsville." "Good! Tell him A. P. Hill will support. As you go, tell the troops that I wish them to get into line and preserve their order." The officer went. An aide of Colston's appeared, breathless from a struggle through the thickets. "From General Colston, sir.
It was seven o'clock. Twilight was falling on the woods; and Rodes' and Colston's divisions had become so inextricably mingled that officers could not find their men nor men their officers. But Jackson, galloping into the disordered ranks, directed them to press the pursuit. His face was aglow with the blaze of battle.
There was a genuine pride in the way he referred me to his neighbors for his character for truthfulness and one must admit that a number of them have an unshakable belief in him. Then Colston's wavering; and Muriel has shown her confidence in the fellow in a striking manner." "Ah!" said Gertrude sharply. "You have noticed that?" "I could hardly fail to do so.
"Halting here, the cavalry threw forward a body of skirmishers to occupy the enemy's attention, while the divisions of Jackson's corps A. P. Hill's, Colston's, and Rode's, numbering in all about twenty-eight thousand men moved into line of battle as fast as they arrived.
A heavy melancholy oppressed him, though bright sunlight streamed into the room and an invigorating breeze swept in through the open window, outside which tall wheat and blue flax rolled away. He could not force himself to talk, though he laughed at Colston's anecdotes, and it was a relief when the meal was over. Half an hour later he overtook Muriel strolling along the edge of the wheat.
