He immediately selected the goal from which the cold November wind blew, as that gave Columbia considerable advantage to start with, though it would be evened up later when the second half brought about a change in base. Still, by then the wind might have died out, and the advantage lost. Lee opened matters with a beautiful kick, but the oval was captured, and it came Columbia's turn.
Many a timid heart among Columbia's friends felt as though the chances were very much against such a victory as had been won over Clifford. Such enthusiasm as abounded! Cheers arose everywhere.

Too many, for the first time in their lives breathing and speaking as free men, thanks to the protection of Columbia's arm, yet planning to stab their protectress in the back.

I only hope the coach isn't making a serious mistake, that's all."
What though the northern wintry blast Shall howl around our cot? What though beneath an eastern sun Be cast our distant lot? Yet still we share the blissful hope His cheering words afford The hope, when days and years are past, Of glory with the Lord. From Burmah's shores, from Afric's strand, From India's burning plain, From Europe, from Columbia's land, We hope to meet again.

When Pogram was about to leave them he grew thoughtful, and after pondering for some time, took Martin aside.
This will warrant my assuring you that whether in the character of an officer at the head of a corps of gallant Frenchmen if circumstances should require this, whether as major-general commanding a division of the American army, or whether, after our swords and spears have given place to the plowshare and pruning-hook, I see you as a private gentleman, a friend and companion, I shall welcome you with all the warmth of friendship to Columbia's shores; and in the latter case, to my rural cottage, where homely fare and a cordial reception shall be substituted for delicacies and costly living.
