"Then why does it shield the scoundrel?" "Perhaps," replied Herron, his hand on the door of his office law-library, "it hasn't been able to get hold of a copy of the testimony." And having thus dropped the seed on good soil, he left. Fanshaw waited several weeks, waited until certain other plans of his and Herron's were perfected.
On the 14th General Parke arrived with two divisions of Burnside's corps, and was immediately dispatched to Haines' Bluff. These latter troops Herron's and Parke's were the reinforcements already spoken of sent by Halleck in anticipation of their being needed. They arrived none too soon. I now had about seventy-one thousand men.
General Herron's Division was sent to re-enforce General Banks, who was besieging the latter place. In a few days, General Gardner hauled down his flag and gave Port Hudson to the nation. "The Father of Waters went unvexed to the Sea." The rich region that the Rebels had thought to hold was, by the fortune of war, in the possession of the National army.
Herron's command, the victor of Pea Ridge and Prairie Grove, formerly known as the Army of the Frontier, had been called to the aid of Grant at Vicksburg. It came to the Gulf as Herron's division, but was presently, by Grant's orders, merged in the 13th Corps as its Second Division.
Dumont's insinuation that he was old and stale set a great fire of hate blazing; he, of course, told himself and others that his wrath was stirred solely because his sense of justice had been outraged by the "swindling." Fanshaw entered Herron's office wearing the jaunty air of arrogant prosperity, never so important as when prosperity has fled.
I'm proud to be in one of the many noble bands that are struggling to save them from themselves." But Dumont had turned away from him; so he dropped into Mrs. Herron's discussion with Mrs. Fanshaw on their proposed trip to the Mediterranean. Dinner was announced and he was put between Mrs. Herron and Olivia, with Dumont on her right.
He moved pompously through his two worlds, fashion and business, deceiving himself completely, every one else except his wife more or less, her not at all but that was the one secret she kept. James was the husband of Herron's daughter by his first wife, and Herron had induced him to finance the syndicate that had raided and captured National Woolens. James was bred to conservatism.
It might be because of Bolton's reputation as a woodsman; it might be because of Dick Herron's spectacular service to Haukemah in the instance of the bear; it might be that careful talk had not had its due effect in convincing the Indians that the journey looked merely to the establishment of new winter posts; Sam was not disinclined to attribute it to pernicious activity on the part of the Ojibway.
