"Another house burning, sir; the Federal people gave the ladies ten minutes to leave it, and then set it on fire." Mohun glanced at me. "That is strange," he said; "do you know the name of the family?" "No, sir." "It was Governor Letcher's. Well, what next?" "Then they went in a great crowd, and broke open another building a large house, sir and took every thing.
That night I spent at Judge Anderson's, in Arnold's Valley, and the next day reached Lexington a very different Lexington from the one I had left a fortnight before. The Virginia Military Institute barracks, the professors' houses, and Governor Letcher's private home had been burned, and also all neighboring mills, etc., while the intervening and adjacent grounds were one great desolate common.
What was Letcher's game?" "His right name is Leicester, sir. He is Mr. Plinlimmon's cousin or second cousin, rather though Mr. Plinlimmon don't know it." Mr. Whitmore, with his gloss rubbed off, was fast returning to his native style even in speech. You could as little mistake him now for a gentleman as for a priest. "And how does that bear on your pretty plot?"
Some therefore called him a "mere historic name," "Letcher's pet," a "West Pointer," no fighting general.
