"Gone to her husband in town, maybe?" "No, sir. Clancy's all right: he was caught last evening, and hadn't time to get more'n half drunk before they lodged him. Lootenant Hayne got him, sir. They had him afore a justice of the peace early this morning " "Yes, I know all that. What I want is Mrs. Clancy. What has become of her?"
'On account of Lootenant Morshed going to the Mess tent to call on his uncle and raise a drink; but all hands had gone to the front. We thought we 'eard somebody bathing behind the tent, and we found an oldish gentleman tryin' to drown a boy in knickerbockers in a horse-trough. He kept him under with a bicycle, so to speak. He 'ad nearly accomplished his fell design, when we frustrated him.
A wind had come up, making the woods resound. A shower of yellow leaves dropped about them. "First you was a corporal, then you was a sergeant, and now you're a lootenant," said Chrisfield slowly. "You'ld better tell me where Colonel Evans is.... You must know.... He's up that road somewhere," said Anderson, struggling to get to his feet. Chrisfield walked away without answering.
"Let him have it; it hasn't been cleaned for a month." "Never mind, Hogan, not to-night." "Could I be gone for a couple of hours, sir, if there's nothing else the lootenant wants?" "Oh, yes, go ahead; I shall not need you until morning." "Would the lootenant take care of this for me?" said Hogan, holding out two twenty-dollar bills. "I might lose it if I tuk too much."
"Ah guess you're right, Judkie; we gits the raw end of the stick." "That damn yellar dawg Andrews goes to Paris an' gets schoolin' free an' all that." "Hell, Andy waren't yellar, Judkins." "Well, why did he go bellyachin' around all the time like he knew more'n the lootenant did?" "Ah reckon he did," said Chrisfield.
Rations are very short, and there is danger of their being much shorter, with the rebel cavalry slashing around everywhere at our cracker-line. We only saved two bridges to-night by the greatest luck. You'll have to go back to Nashville by the next train." "O, Mister Lootenant," pleaded the Deacon, with drops of sweat on his brow. "Please let me go on.
"I said it was the key to the position," Lootenant Morshed remarks. "Trot out Persimmon!" which we rightly took to read, "Un-wrap the rocking-horse." "Houp la!" says Jules in a insubordinate tone, an' slaps Persimmon on the flank. "Silence!" says the Lootenant. "This is the Royal Navy, not Newmarket"; and we carried Persimmon to the top of the mangel-wurzel clump as directed.
'Tin dollars blind an' sivin days on the in the gyard-house, ma'am, says I; an' says she, 'Here's twinty for the tin they robbed ye of, and five for every day they kep' ye from yer masther an' Dandy. An', begorra, lootenant, she ran in the house before iver I could shpake another wurrud." "Go it, Mickey Free!" shouted Blake, roaring with laughter.
I'll surrender to no one inferior to me in rank." "Sorry we'uns can't obleege yo', nohow," said the man with the revolver, in a sneer; "but we'uns'll have t' be good enough commissioned ossifers for yo' jist now, an' yo'll have t' done hold up yo'uns hands. We'uns hain't no time t' send ashore for a Lootenant."
"All right," said Si; "that'll do splendidly, if you think you kin dodge the Lootenant." "O, he be darned," said Shorty scornfully. "I could git away from him if I wasn't 10 years old." They carried out the plan. They drove up in front of their residence, and threw off a liberal quantity of the boards. The other boys raised a yell, and made a break for them.
