"I shan't forget," said the young Mississippian as he moved away. Dick turned back to his own group. They had noticed him talking to the lad in gray, but they paid no attention, nor thought it anything unusual. It was common enough in the great battles of the American civil war, most of which lasted more than one day, for the opposing soldiers to become friendly in the nights between.
The mother's face expressed the well-bred surprise of a person who should have been asked out to dinner and seen the cloth pulled off the table; the young man, who supported her on his arm, instantly lost himself in the spectacle of Verena disengaging herself from Mrs. Tarrant, only to be again overwhelmed, and in the unexpected presence of the Mississippian.
The Mississippian, who was wonderfully agile, suddenly danced in on his toes it seemed to Dick and landed savagely on his opponent's left ear. Then he was away so quickly and lightly that Dick's return merely cut the air. The Kentuckian felt the blood dripping from another point. His ear, moreover, was very sore and began to swell rapidly.
She would expect him to be strenuous in return; but he couldn't in private life, he couldn't; privacy for Basil Ransom consisted entirely in what he called "laying off."

But you have two hours' time, and if you come we can all go over to the Senate together. Now, Senator, humor us a little. Don't disappoint the girls and me. We can all drive over to the Capitol in my carriage."
Olive Chancellor was determined to look him straight in the face as she said this; her sense of the way it might strike him operated as a cogent, not as a deterrent, reason. "Why, Miss Olive, it's just got up on purpose for me!" cried the young Mississippian, radiant, and clasping his hands.
Gibbs, a Mississippian, carried the purple and gold silk banner of the State Suffrage Association and four other young Mississippians, Judge Allen Thompson and his brother, Harmon, Walter and Edward Dent, marched beside the float, preforming valiant volunteer police duty when it became necessary. During this year the enrolled membership increased four-fold.
It was a very little hotel and of a very slight and loose construction; the tread of a tall Mississippian made the staircase groan and the windows rattle in their frames.
