I'm as good a Westerner as you are, Greenbrier; but, somehow, I can't make up my mind to go back out there. New York is comfortable comfortable. I make a good living, and I live it. No more wet blankets and riding herd in snowstorms, and bacon and cold coffee, and blowouts once in six months for me. I reckon I'll hang out here in the future.
He had been in several engagements, such as they were at Philippi, Rich Mountain, Carrick's Ford and Greenbrier and had borne himself with such gallantry as not to attract the attention of his superior officers.
There was none of his staff with him; he had on no sword or pistol, or anything to show his rank. The only thing that I remember he had was an opera-glass hung over his shoulder by a strap. Leaving Big Springs, we marched on day by day, across Greenbrier and Gauley rivers to Huntersville, a little but sprightly town hid in the very fastnesses of the mountains.
Reynolds, in return, made a forced reconnoissance upon the Confederate position at Greenbrier River on October 2d, but found it too strong to be carried. The reinforcement by Loring gave Lee a very positive advantage in numbers, but the storms and foundering roads paralyzed both armies, which lay opposite each other upon the crests of Big Sewell separated by a deep gorge.
"They're on you," chanted Greenbrier, struggling to conceal his contempt. At seven they dined in the Where-to-Dine-Well column. That evening a galaxy had assembled there. Bright shone the lights o'er fair women and br let it go, anyhow brave men. The orchestra played charmingly. Hardly had a tip from a diner been placed in its hands by a waiter when it would burst forth into soniferousness.
"Nuthin' would do Ethelindy," her granny lifted an accusatory voice, still knitting briskly, though she looked rebukingly over her spectacles at the cowering girl, "when that thar Union dee-tachmint rid into Tanglefoot Cove like a rat into a trap " "Yes," interposed Mrs. Brusie, "through mistakin' it fur Greenbrier Cove."
You was venison, and now you're veal. You put me in mind of a japonica in a window. You've been signed, sealed and diskivered. Requiescat in hoc signo. You make me thirsty." "A green chartreuse here," said Merritt to the waiter. "Whiskey straight," sighed Greenbrier, "and they're on you, you renegade of the round-ups." "Guilty, with an application for mercy," said Merritt.
"Gyar song!" he suddenly cried, in a voice that paralyzed every knife and fork in the restaurant. The waiter dived toward the table. "Two more of them cocktail drinks," ordered Greenbrier. Merritt looked at him and smiled significantly. "They're on me," said Greenbrier, blowing a puff of smoke to the ceiling.
Thank Agnes for her letter. I cannot respond at this time. The letter you forwarded from Mrs. Podestad describes the sickness her children have passed through. She is now with them at Capon, and Miss Emily has gone to visit Mrs. Barksdale in Greenbrier. Mrs. P says she will be ready to visit you any time after the middle of August that you will notify her.
An' the Durham's Queen's, an' the big Holstein belongs to Mr. Ward, an' the red-faced Hereford is out of a Greenbrier cow an' goes with the Carper's." By the time I had gotten through the drove we had reached the crossroads, and I found Ump waiting with the two hundred cattle of Westfall.
