"Member of Garnett's Brigade and member of General Jackson's military family to the contrary," said Stafford, "these are Russian steppes, and this is a march from Moscow, and the general in command is no Napoleon, but a fool and a pedant " "I give you warning!" "A crazy Barebones masquerading as a Cromwell "
With the smartest woman in London as her guide and example she had never developed a taste for dress, and with opportunities for enlightenment from which Garnett's fancy recoiled she remained simple, unsuspicious and tender, with an inclination to good works and afternoon church, a taste for the society of dull girls, and a clinging fidelity to old governesses and retired nurse-maids. Mrs.
One might be anything, Lady Garnett's constant practice seemed to enunciate, provided one was not a bore; one could represent anything birth or wealth, or the conspicuous absence of these qualities so long as one also effectively represented one's self. This was the somewhat democratic form which the old lady's aristocratic tradition assumed.
Pickett drew up his line with Kemper's and Garnett's brigades in front, and Armistead's brigade in rear. The brigade under General Wilcox took position on the right, and on the left was placed the division under Pettigrew, which was to participate in the charge.

Lady Garnett's brilliant eyes, and a little admonitory gesture of one hand, restrained him.
And he made a more decided motion to free himself from Garnett's importunities. But his resistance only strengthened the young man's. The more unpleasant the latter's task became, the more unwilling he grew to see his efforts end in failure.
