In addition to our deplorable condition we were under fire from Gilmore's batteries, whose shells were continually bursting around us, occasionally coming amongst us and twice tearing the wall away. On one occasion for sixty hours we had not a morsel to eat. No cooking utensils were to be had.
It was early June, and they dallied on the way. She was so nearly happy that her conscience became suspicious. She felt something awful was going to happen! and she almost did not care. They had reached the front steps of her home. Ominously, silence fell. Suddenly impulsive Ben crushed her to him and must it be told? kissed her, kissed Hattie Gilmore's unsullied lips.

This is a very lonely night, and I can't write any more because it reminds me to be uneasy about the express package in which I sent the article to Gilmore's Weekly. I am going down to sit in my mother's room in a dark corner to be comforted. That is my right and hers, too.
