So after that, whenever one of them came to a stirring editorial in a newspaper, or a rousing passage in a book, it was put on one side to be read at their daily sewing bee; and when these failed they read Barbara Fritchie, or Patrick Henry, or Horatio at the Bridge. "Do you notice how much better Josiah is looking!" whispered Miss Cordelia to her sister one evening.
Having done so well with one war piece, Tabitha decided that Barbara Fritchie was a most appropriate selection to recite this second time, besides being quite in keeping with her old-fashioned dress. So she began the familiar lines: Up from the meadow rich with corn Clear in the cool September morn, The clustered spires of Frederick stand Green-walled by the hills of Maryland.
"Well, that's so," she exclaimed defiantly, glaring at the strange children. "Yes," added Carrie, "and she has read through the Fourth Reader and knows lots of pieces. You ought to hear her speak Barbara Fritchie." "But I'm an awful speller," admitted the mollified Tabitha.
A few examples will show how stupid these Jew-baiters are. On page 9 Latsis, of the Extraordinary Commission, is accurately described as a Lett, but on page 23 he becomes a Jew. Fritchie is a Lett on page 10 and a Jew on page 22 and neither description is correct. On page 25 Kerensky is described as a Jew, and it is said that his real name is Kirbis.
Lee issued a dignified and persuasive proclamation in which he declared that he came among the people of Maryland as a friend and liberator. But Maryland showed no desire to be liberated. He and his soldiers were everywhere coldly received. Hardly a volunteer joined them. In many towns Union flags were flaunted in their faces a fact upon which is based the fictitious story of Barbara Fritchie.
"I've just learned Barbara Fritchie, and it is grand! "'who touches a hair in yon gray head Dies like a dog! March on! he said." Carrie clapped her hands. "Oh, say the whole of it, Theodora Gabrielle, please!"
