On another occasion Hake and Borrow were guests together at Hardwicke House, Suffolk, a fine old Jacobean Hall, then the residence of Sir Thomas Cullum. There were also staying at the Hall at the time Lord Bristol, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, William Makepeace Thackeray, and other distinguished people. Borrow and Thackeray did not get on well together.
Sissy looked through and beyond him with fixed, unresponsive gaze, and said never a word. Then, as Mr. Cullum afterward said, "Ole Satan swep' an' garnisheed him an' tuk possession of him." He seized the heavy teacup in front of him and hurled it at his unsuspecting spouse; she gasped, paling slightly, and dodged.
Then Douglass coolly knocked the money shark down. "Come along, fellows," spoke the class president quietly, and turned on his heel. "Confound you, Mr. Fresh, I'll report this to the superintendent," bellowed Henckley. "Do!" called Douglass in cool contempt over his shoulder. Douglass, Durville and Prescott tramped together around to the front of Cullum Hall.
"Air you tellin' me, Tobe Cullum," his wife said, when she had heard him to the end "air you p'intedly tellin' me that you've took Bud Hines snipin'? An' that you've left that sickly, consumpted young man a-settin' out there by hisse'f to catch his death of cold; or maybe git his blood sucked out by a catamount!"

Cullum drew the pencil through Bowling Green, Forts Donelson and Henry, and Columbus, Kentucky. "That is their line," said Halleck. "Now, where is the proper place to break it?" And either Cullum or I said, "Naturally the centre."
Meantime, at Paducah, I was busy sending boats in every direction some under the orders of General Halleck, others of General Cullum; others for General Grant, and still others for General Buell at Nashville; and at the same time I was organizing out of the new troops that were arriving at Paducah a division for myself when allowed to take the field, which I had been promised by General Halleck.
So, without a word of protest, he passed for the last time into the twilight of the woods. The Heart of Unaga By Ridgwell Cullum Author of "The Way of the Strong," etc. Many a stalwart deed has been done and many a brave tale told of the forbidding but romantic North-land, but seldom has an author so combined a tale of love, adventure, and strong swift action with mystery.
I started for Paducah the same day, and think that General Cullum went with me to Cairo; General Halleck's purpose being to push forward the operations up the Tennessee River with unusual vigor. Louis, February 15, 1862 Brigadier-General SHERMAN, Paducah, Kentucky: Send General Grant every thing you can spare from Paducah and Smith and also General Hurlbut.
Cadets who "drag femmes" to hop, and who have to escort their fair partners to hotel, or to some officer's house on the post, must go from Cullum Hall with their fair charges, leave them at the destined gate, and then return to camp, all within a stated, scheduled time.
