"Just like the stupid American," muttered the old woman as she hurried away, "as if I'd get in at the front of the house." Andy Griffing talked a good deal on the drive back to Thorbury, but La Fleur heard little and answered less.
To Josephine S. Griffing belongs the full credit of founding the Freedmen's Bureau, which played so valuable a part in the help and protection of the newly emancipated negroes. Who of all the public speakers rendered greater aid to the Union than the inspired Anna Dickinson? Yet not one of these ever received the slightest official recognition from the government.

Andy Griffing, the driver, was a grizzled little man with twinkling eyes and a cheery air that seemed to indicate that an afternoon drive was as much a novelty and pleasure to him as it could possibly be to any two ladies; which was odd, considering that for the last forty years Andy had been almost constantly engaged in taking morning, afternoon, evening, and night drives.
"I will do that gladly, Michael: you may count on me to do that. And I will give you other things that you like. Wait till we see, wait till we see.

She is mistaken in considering the cause so nearly won, but it would be as impossible for her to realize the situation as it was for Rev.
"I think you must be Michael," she said. "The cook has been speaking of you to me. My name is La Fleur." Mike, who had struck his axe into a log, touched his flattened hat.
