"Let me see. First and foremost, your words of honour that you'll never tell a soul I taught you how to fight, for it might lead to unpleasantness." "On my honour, I'll never tell!" cried Mercer. "And on my honour I never will!" I said excitedly. "Right, then, so far," said Lomax. "Now about those gloves. If I recollect right, they're eight-and-six a pair, and two pairs are seventeen shillings."
No, Daddy, it's coming to the point, as the tiger said when he reached the last joint of the cow's tail. And it's your fault. 'My fault, Davy, said Lomax, half tremulous, half delighted, drawing a chair close up to the table that he might lose nothing of the youth's confidences. 'What d'ye mean by that, ye spalpeen?
At daylight of the 19th these positions of the Confederate infantry still obtained, with the cavalry of Lomax, Jackson, and Johnson on the right of Ramseur, while to the left and rear of the enemy's general line was Fitzhugh Lee, covering from Stephenson's depot west across the Valley pike to Applepie Ridge. My army moved at 3 o'clock that morning.
Eve Nolan chuckled throatily, throwing her mannish-cut hair back from her face. She was almost pretty with an expression on her countenance, even if it was amused disgust. "Captain Muller, that's a nice story. But Dr. Lomax was with me in my darkroom, working on some spectroanalysis slides. Bill Sanderson and Phil Riggs were waiting outside for us. And Mr.
Stuart's force at this date was a little more than eight thousand men, organized in two divisions, commanded by Generals Wade Hampton and Fitzhugh Lee. Hampton's division was composed of three brigades, commanded by Generals Cordon, Young, and Rosser; Fitzhugh Lee's division comprised three brigades also, Generals W. H. F. Lee, Lomax, and Wickham commanding them.
"Well, we're going to try. You have some worms ready for me a penn'orth." "Tuppence, sir." "A penny. Why, you've just had a penny for nothing." "All right, master. Going?" "Yes, I'm showing him round," said Mercer. "Come along, Burry, we'll go and see old Lomax now."
"And I'm sure there isn't," cried Lomax. "Now then, I'll give you a leg up." "Am I to get up again now?" I faltered. "Without you want to say you haven't pluck enough to learn to ride." "No," I said; "I haven't pluck enough to say that." "Not you. Up you go. There. Now that is better. Stick on this time." "I could if I had stirrups," I said, "and a saddle."
"For goodness' sake at a time like this it is too " "Why, haven't I got cause to whistle, sir?" cried the sergeant merrily. "What did I tell you? Only wanted time and plenty o' muscle." "What! is he reviving?" "No, sir, he's revived," said Lomax. "Look at the colour coming, and his eyelids quivering. He'll be sitting up directly. Here, you can feel his heart beating now."
"That's right," cried Lomax, and, lifting up the flap of the saddle, he busied himself, as I supposed, tightening the girths, but all at once they dropped to the ground, and, with the rein over his arm, Lomax lifted off the saddle and placed it upon the hedge. "Now then," he cried, "come along and I'll give you a leg up." "But you've taken the saddle off." "Of course I have.
The object of this disposition of Stuart's force will be seen at a glance. Lomax, commanding the left, was across the enemy's front; Wickham, commanding the right, was on their flank; and the artillery was so posted as to sweep at once the front of both Stuart's wings. The enemy's advance would bring them to the first joint of the thumb.
