"Oh! yes, that is what she would call it; but me, I say though not as Gholson would mean it, you know, she has a soul to save. If it is a game, it is a very delicate one; let her play it as nearly alone as she can." "Yes," said I, "a man's hand in it would be only his foot in it;" and Ferry was pleased.
Gregory! had called the previous evening. Then followed the information that poor Mr. Gholson oh, dear! the poor we have always with us! had arrived again from camp so wasted with ague as to be a sight for tears.
Why, she wants to keep Oliver and Ferry apart until somebody else for whom she doesn't care as she cares for Ned, say you, or I, or or " "Gholson?" "Gholson, no! she can't trust Gholson, Gholson's conscience is too vindictive; that's why she's keeping him with her as long as she can.
We're leaving a fine horse hid away somewhere hereabouts, but we can't help that; come on." In due time the Colonel, with the slave girl, and Harry with her pillow-case of duds, turned toward Fayette, and Gholson and I toward the brigade, at Union Church. Then, at last, my old friend and co-religionist let his wrath loose.
And then he led us on, with just a word here and there, until we all agreed as smooth as glass, that all Quinn had said was my fault, and all I had done was Gholson's fault, and all Gholson had said or done or left undone was our fault, and the rest was partly Ned's fault, but mostly accident."
Two or three bystanders helped us bear him upstairs, where, turning from the bedside, I pressed Camille with eager questions. "Lieutenant Ferry? he's unhurt and so is Mr. Gholson! Mr. Gholson's gone to Franklin for doctors; Lieutenant Ferry sent him; he's been sending everybody everywhere faster than anybody else could think of anything!" I asked where Ferry was now.
"Gholson, if it isn't Ned Ferry's religion that's worrying you just now about him, what is it?" My companion looked at me as if what he must say was too large for his throat. He made a gesture of lament toward Ferry and broke out, "O oh Smith," nearly all Gholson's oh's were groans "why is he here? The scout is 'the eyes of the army'! a man whose perpetual vigilance at the very foremost front "
We saw her form darken his chamber threshold and halt, and then she wailed: "Oh, Lawd God A'mighty! Oh, Lawd God A'mighty!" "Stop that noise! Gholson, hold the horses. Come. Lieutenant, come Smith, maybe he's killed himself, but it seems too good to be true.
"Ah-h, there are times when a man hasn't got his thinking powers; you ought to know that, Smith, " "Mr. Gholson, what do you mean by that?" "Oh! I certainly didn't mean anything against you, Smith. Why is your manner so strange to me to-day?
Of course, now, he'd ought to know he can't ever be one henceforth. I'm sorry for him, but " "Good-morning," I interrupted, quite in the General's manner, and made a spirited exit, but it proved a false one; one thing had to be said, and I returned. "Gholson, if she should be worse hurt than " "Ah! you're thinking of the chaplain; I've already sent him.
