The whole of the conversation naturally related to the prospects of the cause, and no one would have guessed from what he heard in President Davis's house that the end was so near. I was anxious before my return to see something of the army that had so long defended Richmond.
And this is the world as much as Balzac's is the world, if it is the world as you see it.

Seward was yet on the way, and on seeing Jefferson Davis's instructions, promptly notified the commissioners that they could not proceed further without complying strictly with President Lincoln's terms.

"Do look at Davis's cab!" exclaimed Matty. "Look, Captain Bertram, it's going in your direction.

Bradley's brigade went in with steadiness, and charging across an open corn-field that lay in front of the Lafayette road, recovered Davis's guns and forced the enemy to retire.
The framers of Louisiana's laws were particular to guard against too great a freedom of action on the part of its women.
