"You'll find they'll bite, tho' Henicky, take a corporal's guard, and" "Oh no, for heaven's sake, ma'am!" exclaimed Mr Clam. "Your servant, ma'am. I'm off this moment." The unhappy victim of Mrs Moss's advice to travel for the improvement of his mind, thought it best to follow the orders of the military lady in the riding-habit, and retired as quickly as he could from the barrack yard.
"I wished to see you on a very interesting subject, madam." "Love, I'll bet a guinea who has deserted you now? that green chest, Henicky, No. 34." "There is an officer in this regiment of the name of Chatterton?" "Yes, he's one of my young men, though I've not seen him yet. What then?" "Can I speak to you for a minute alone?"
"It's a fact, as you'll find; so, make haste, young woman, and Sword will settle your business." "Captain Hope is not come on shore yet, I believe?" said the lady. "Charlie Hope? No! he's bringing the men and baggage. Has he deserted you too? Go to Sword, I tell you; and let your legal friend retreat without beat of drum. How many chests is this, Henicky?"
"Who is that young woman?" said the Colonel's wife, to our astonished friend Mr Clam. "Have you lost your tongue, sir? who is she, I say?" "If you were to draw me with horses, I could'nt tell you, ma'am 'pon my solemn davit," said Mr Clam. "Oh, you won't tell, won't you?" returned the lady, cocking her hat, and leaving the mountain of baggage to the care of her friend Sergeant Henicky.
That other box, Henicky, L. M. And who is this old man with you?" continued Mrs Sword. "Your attorney, I suppose? See that you aren't ducked at the pump before you get out, old man; for I allow no lawyers inside these walls." "Ma'am?" enquired Mr Clam, bewildered at the sudden address of the officer in command.
