Before the break of day on Wednesday the 17th, it was discovered that Doubleday's division of Hooker's corps lay exposed to artillery fire from batteries of the enemy supposed to be in position on their front and right.
This interruption, though it cuts short Mr Doubleday's speech, is a decidedly pleasant one; and when a burly, rosy-faced Irish gentleman enters and joins the party the magic circle seems finally complete. I need not recount all the talk of that happy Christmas evening. It was a merry Christmas, without doubt, though not a boisterous one.
Then spurring his horse, he wheeled it around to rejoin Van Horn. Even then Laramie was too quick for him. Almost in the very instant, he jumped his own pony after the angry man and gaining the head of Doubleday's horse, caught the bridle and jerked the beast almost to its haunches. It was a ticklish instant. Van Horn, with his hand on his revolver, attempted to spur to Doubleday's assistance.
The arrival of a baby at the home of Harry Tenison in Sleepy Cat had an immediate effect on Kate Doubleday's fortune in the mountains and, indeed, on the fortunes of a number of other people in Sleepy Cat wholly out of proportion to its importance as a family event. It was not, it is true, for the Tenisons a mere family event.
"I've something better to do with my time and my money than that sort of thing," he replied, quietly. I went up to Doubleday's that evening more uneasy in my mind than I had been for a long time. I was angry with him for asking me; I was angry with myself for going; and I was angry with Smith because I felt his rebuke was a just one.
