Then, as Butler strolled to and fro in this, to him, objectionable room, Cowperwood drove rapidly away. Although it was nearly eleven o'clock when he arrived at the Calligans', Aileen was not yet in bed. In her bedroom upstairs she was confiding to Mamie and Mrs. Calligan some of her social experiences when the bell rang, and Mrs. Calligan went down and opened the door to Cowperwood.
Many years after, meeting Mamie Dana, as the wife of an army officer at Fortress Monroe, I related the Memphis incident. She did not in the least recall it. I had one other adventure during the war that may be worth telling. It was in 1862.
Gurney noticed there was a change for the worse in the little slumberer, and she had just remarked it to Allie, when Mamie languidly opened her large blue eyes which now shone as if they reflected the light of the heavenly land "Mamma! Mamma!" she called in a low but very distinct voice. Allie bent over her and asked, "What is it darling? Mamma has gone to lie down for a little while."
Looloo, who alone seemed the least bit awed by the presence of her dazzling cousin, undertook to explain. "She's Mamie Willis, Cally, I don't believe you know her. Well, you see she's always making the most atrocious puns, and is very proud of them thinks she's quite a wit. So, you see, when anybody makes an awfully bad pun, like Hen's "

Me an' Mamie we've got it fixed, an' her old man says he'll take me inter de store. Say, Doc, say ain't dere a chanst ter live straight now we wants ter?"
"What is it that he knows?" "That you were walking with Joseph Louden!" But she always tells papa everything " "Certainly; that is understood," said Ariel, slowly, turning to smile at Eugene. "And she told him this right away," Mamie finished. "Why shouldn't she, if it is of the slightest interest to him?" The daughter of the house exhibited signs of consternation.
