Neither Wilson's cavalry nor Grower's infantry had yet joined me, and the necessities, already explained, which obliged me to hold with string garrisons Winchester and other points heretofore mentioned. had so depleted my line of battle strength that I knew the enemy would outnumber me when Anderson's corps should arrive in the valley.
One glance at the speechless woman seemed to suffice her for a knowledge of the situation. "Mr. Hodder has brought us a new friend and neighbour, Sally, Miss Kate Marcy. She is to have a room near us, that we may see her often." Hodder watched Miss Grower's procedure with a breathless interest.
