Errol is not a sycophant. Worthington does not hold his mortgage." "Mortgage!" exclaimed Cynthia. The word always struck terror to her soul. "Mr. Worthington holds Mr. Hill's mortgage," said Mr. Graves, more than ever beside himself at the sight of her suffering. "That man's tyranny is not to be borne. We will not give up, Cynthia.
Hill's rick of bark; it was M'Cormack himself, who, in the heat of his resentment for the insulting arrest of his countryman in the streets of Hereford, had instigated his fellow haymakers to this mischief; he headed them, and thought he was doing a clever, spirited action.
There being no longer any sharp-shooters to bother the sailors, they made good progress; still, it took three full days for the fleet to back out of Deer Creek into Black Bayou, at Hill's plantation, whence Admiral Porter proceeded to his post at the month of the Yazoo, leaving Captain Owen in command of the fleet.
The volume of fire never for a moment slackened; and fresh batteries, amongst which were the 32-pounders of the siege train, unlimbering on the flanks, gave further strength to a front which was already impregnable. Jackson, meanwhile, on receiving a request for reinforcements, had sent forward three brigades of his own division and a brigade of Hill's.
Either course, in Mr. Hill's case, required courage, and he had never been credited with any. If Mr. Hill was going to speak at all, he was going to straddle.

Captain Boswell was ordered to report on the most direct and hidden route to Manassas Junction, and the three divisions Ewell's, Hill's, and the Stonewall, now commanded by Taliaferro assembled near Jefferson.
"Next time, dear," added Isabel, "no, no, no, but next time, you mustn't be so sudden. There's no need, you know," she blushed again, "and I promise you I'll give my whole mind to it!
