"Nance ast mighty particular about the lodge meetin'," observed Newt Pinson to Mr. Cullum, who headed the nocturnal expedition; "she know'd it wa'n't the regular night, an' she suspicioned sompn, Nance did." "Sissy didn't," laughed Tobe, complacently. "Sissy is that soft an' innercent an' mild that a suckin' baby could wrop her aroun' its finger much lessen me!"
The time it properly takes to walk from Cullum Hall to the hotel grounds, or to any officer's house, is all scheduled and kept track of at the guard tent. The young man thus returning to camp after taps reports to what building he escorted his "femme," and the time of his return is noted on the guard report. If the cadet has overstayed his time he is called to account for it the next day.
Pinson, ignoring these interruptions, "is Mis' Cullum. An' yit, Tobe Cullum ain't no safeter than anybody else considerin' of Sissy Cullum ez a wife!"

It was just after dark as the two young couples sauntered away from the hotel on their way to Cullum Hall. "You young men are now sure of your Army careers," remarked Belle, as the four strolled down the road.

Sam Cullum floundered around in the water like a whale cast up in the shallows. The lake at that point was not over four feet deep, but he did not know enough to stand upright. "Save me!" he bellowed. "Save me! I don't want to drown!" "Swallow a little water, it will do you good!" said a bystander, with a laugh. "Walk out and you'll be all right," added another.
I am sending all the transports I can find for you, reporting to General Sherman for orders to go up the Cumberland for you, or, if you march across to Fort Henry, then to send them up the Tennessee. G. W. CULLUM, Brigadier-General. On the 4th came this dispatch: To Major-General U. S. GRANT You will place Major-General C. F. Smith in command of expedition, and remain yourself at Fort Henry.
He stamped his feet and struck his hands against his sides. Then, after some moments, as though angry at some one within Cullum Hall, the stranger wheeled and shook one clenched fist at the windows overhead. "Whom has that fellow a grouch against?"
