After that, I move we get back to Mac's camp and have something to eat." "You were commandin'?" the Infant suggested. "I was about three months senior to Stalky, and two months Tertius's senior," Dick Four replied. "But we were all from the same old Coll. I should say ours was the only little affair on record where some one wasn't jealous of some one else."
"Bedad! They didn't teach YOU, Captain Overstone, to engage a battery at Cerro Gordo with a half company, but you did it; more shame to you now, sorr, commandin' the thayves and ruffians you do." "Silence!" said the young officer.

The mare, on raisin' her head, came in contact wid the cord that united the goats; an' the goats, havin' lost their commandin' position, came in contact wid the neck o' the mare. Quid multis?
There was the divil's own uproar, as a battle was comin' on; and a long line of spears clashed.
