Norval you, sir and this dear girl," pointing to Mother Bunch, "on whose discretion I can depend as on your own, will be my only confidants. My secret will then be quite safe. Besides, we will talk further on this subject to-morrow.
My arms are free, but below my chest all is numb. The enemy is trotting over me. The numbness up to my heart. Good-by to all. The reference, in a previous paragraph, to General Cass, recalls the name of Norval E. Welch, a student of law, who was remarkable for his handsome face and figure.
