Want you?" he said, abstractedly, as if that question, too, had puzzled him; then remembering himself, and why he had sent for her, he answered, "I want to talk with you, Dora to tell you something. Do you remember my sister Mrs. Elliott?" The eager, upward glance of Dora's eyes, was a sufficient answer, and he continued, "I saw her last week and talked with her of you.
"I beg pardon," said Miss Elliott, "but I thought 'lieutenant' was an ensign's proper title." "If Peyton were the ensign of the troop, his office would be a sinecure," laughed the colonel, "seeing we have no standard for him to carry." "You surely don't mean, colonel, that your gallant corps fights without colors?" said Miss Stead.
He got shot through the breast, while Corpril Elliott only got a crack over the head. That settles it as to who's the best soldier. I'm kind o' sorry that we didn't have no trouble. Mebbe the folks at home'll git the idea that we skulked and dodged." "That's so," accorded the others, with a troubled look. "But we are now in Tennessee," chirped in Gid Mackall hopefully.
Elliott very unfortunately forbore mentioning to his parents, either by letter or when they paid their annual visit in August, any part of his bad conduct; and as he took care to appear to them, whilst they remained, a very good boy, they went home quite delighted with the thoughts that he was entirely cured of his bad habits.
Layard, successor to Sir Henry Elliott at Constantinople, afterwards sought to reduce the numbers slain to 3500. It is painful to have to add that the British Government was indirectly responsible for these events.

About noon, having stopped for the purpose of taking rest, they were suddenly surprised by a party of seven of the enemy, amongst whom were young Elliott, a half-breed, holding a commission in the British service, and the celebrated Potawatamie chief, Winnemac.
Elliott came along and bade her begone home. "I don't think, Faith, that you should have done that," said Una, a little reproachfully, after Lida had gone. "You'll have to wear your good boots every day now and they'll soon scuff out." "I don't care," cried Faith, still in the fine glow of having done a kindness to a fellow creature.
That Colossus is too disinterested in securing partners for his friends; he is, I assure you. If you're looking for a Louis Quatorze partner, warranted genuine, go to Rhodes." "Rex ought to be here by this time," said Rowden; "look in the boxes on that side and Clifford and I will do the same on this." "No need," cried Elliott, "I see him with a white domino there in the second tier.
