"Major Simms, who is marshalling Crutchfield's forces, you know, said to me last night 'Oh, Burr's all right when you let him lead, but he's damned mulish if you begin to pull the other way."

Hawks says he's damned if the army shan't have square meals for a week, and Crutchfield's smiling over the guns " "Falligant says the men are nigh dead, officers nodding in their saddles, giving orders in their sleep. Falligant says " Margaret touched one of the group upon the arm.
