"I shall be up again in less time than it will take you to tell your beads, mon gaillard" said Müller the ferocious, as, having captured my Napoleon, he prepared to go down and liquidate with number One Thousand and Eleven. "And it's of no use to bolt me out, because I shall hammer away till you let me in, and that will wake your fellow-lodgers. So let me find you up, and ready for the fray."
The two Gourdins, Robert and John Gaillard Keith, were dashing young fellows as I recollect them, belonging to Charleston, South Carolina. The "Southerners" were the reigning College elegans of that time, the merveilleux, the mirliflores, of their day.
A great contrast to this visit was one I received from a peculiar man called C. Gaillard. He was the editor of a Berlin musical paper, which had only just started, and in which I had read with great astonishment an entirely favourable and important criticism of my Fliegender Hollander.
She heard her brother reply to him: 'Who? the Marquis de Rouaillout? It is a jolly gaillard of fifty who spoils no fun. 'You mistake his age, Roland, she said. 'Forty-nine, then, my sister. 'He is not that. 'He looks it. 'You have been absent. 'Probably, my arithmetical sister, he has employed the interval to grow younger. They say it is the way with green gentlemen of a certain age.
These were among the first soldiers from the "Palmetto State" to go to Virginia, and the regiment when fully organized stood as follows: J.B. Kershaw, Colonel, of Camden. E.P. Jones, Lieutenant Colonel. Fred Gaillard, Major. A.D. Goodwin, Adjutant. Company A W.H. Casson, Richland. Company B A.D. Hoke, Greenville. Company C William Wallace, Richland. Company D T.S. Richardson.
Carry him all your poems to-morrow; there will be enough to make a volume. Massif will publish it at his own expense, and you will appear before the public in one month. You never will inveigle a second time that big booby of a Gaillard, who took a mere passing fancy for you. But no matter! I know your book, and it will be a success. You are launched. Forward, march!
This person, I say, after having eyed me some time, said, "Oho, 'tis ver well, Monsieur Concordance; young man, you are ver welcome, take one coup of bierre and come to mine house to-morrow morning; Monsieur Concordance vil show you de way." Upon this I made my bow, and as I went out of the room could hear him say, "Ma foi! c'est un beau garcon; c'est un gaillard."
There were many changes from Lieutenants to Captains, and subsequent elections from the ranks to Lieutenants, caused by the casualties of war, but space forbids, and want of the facts prevents me from giving more than the company commanders and the field officers. Colonels J.B. Kershaw, E.P. Jones, Jno. D. Kennedy, and Wm. Wallace. Lieutenant Colonels E.P. Jones, A.D. Goodwin, F. Gaillard, Wm.
Lieutenant Colonel A.S. Goodwin. Major Frank Gaillard. Adjutant E.E. Sill. Quartermaster W.D. Peck. Commissary J.J. Villipigue. Chief Surgeon Dr. F. Salmond. Chaplains Revs. McGruder and Smith. I give below a list of the Captains, as well as the field officers, of the Second Regiment during the war.
That winter, filled as it was with so many pleasures and dissipations, was a necessary interval employed in finding capital for the new Royalist paper; Theodore Gaillard and Hector Merlin only brought out the first number of the Reveil in March 1822. The affair had been settled at Mme. du Val-Noble's house.
