The Frenchman's quick wit overtook my thoughts.
What they saw when they overtook the straggling, running, panting, screaming pellmell of the Fourteenth was victory! The entire right wing of the Confederates, attacked on three sides at once, placed at enormous disadvantage, completely outgeneraled, had given way in confusion, was retreating, breaking, and flying.
There were two great heroes in the world, Samson in Israel, and Goliath among the Gentiles, but both met death on account of their strength.

You are here in the wood where the doctor overtook us," he replied. "And where is he?" "He has returned." "Has something dreadful happened?" "Nothing." "But I saw you clench with each other, and it was awful! What happened then? I must have fainted. Did I?"
