There came back to me the haunting memory that he had joined Delavan as a volunteer the Dragoon uniform sufficient proof that he was neither of the original foraging party of Hessians, nor of Grant's detachment of Rangers. Yet these others wore the green and white, and must, therefore, have been in Grant's command.
She clearly realized that she had had a narrow escape from Holmesley; that his attraction for her was transient and unsubstantial, a surface magnetism without real value or promise. In her revulsion of feeling she thought affectionately of Delavan Eyre. There lay the safe basis of habitude, common interests, settled liking.
Colonel Carr says two thousand negroes rushed back and lifted him from his feet and swept him to the rear. General Delavan Bates, who was shot through the face, said at that time that Ransom's Brigade was reported to occupy those lines. When the battle was at its highest the Seventeenth was forced down its line about thirty yards.
The most eminent of American temperance advocates during my young manhood, Mr. Delavan, insisted that he found Italy, where all people, men, women, and children, drink wine with their meals, if they can get it, the most temperate country he had ever seen; and, having made more than twelve different sojourns in Italy, I can confirm that opinion.
Henry Wilson of Massachusetts in place of Schuyler Colfax, who had held the position during General Grant's first term. The only speeches I made during the campaign were one from the balcony of the Continental Hotel in Philadelphia and one from the steps of the Delavan House at Albany, but they were perfunctory and formal.
"I shall miss you," said the hostess, and added, smiling, "as one misses a stimulant. Stay through the rest of the month, anyway." "I'd like to," answered Io gratefully. "I've written Delavan that I'm coming back and now I'm quite dreading it. Do you suppose there ever yet was a woman with understanding of herself?"
"Always promising to hang me, but never quite ready to tackle the job. Afraid I shall have to disappoint him again, to-night." "You will not wait for him?" "Hardly. You heard what he said about Delavan? That was the very news I wanted to learn. Now I think both those lads will meet me much sooner than they expect."
