Together with Gregg and Field and Thomas, Pender drove Hooker again down the red escarpment, across the railroad, through the burning brush, into the wood; even drove him out of the wood, took a battery and dashed into the open beyond. Then from the hills the blue artillery opened and from the plains below volleyed fresh infantry.
"That will make him as foolish as a fiddler." Pender already had the glass handy. He passed it to Dick, who suddenly glared at him in an uncertain manner. Dick had smelt the liquor in the first glass and now realized something of the plot to bring him to disgrace. "Say, but that stuff makes me feel lightheaded," he said. "Wasn't so bad, after all."
I was shook up but not hurt, and when I got up I saw the door and wondered what it meant. Then I looked inside and after that went back to camp to tell you fellows about it." "It will make a dandy place for secret meetings," suggested Rockley. "We can come here and do what we please." "Just what I thought," said Pender.
He pretends with me that it's just a nervous breakdown, and I'm sure he doesn't realize all the odd things I've noticed him doing. But the main thing, I suppose " "Yes, the main thing, Mrs. Pender," he said encouragingly, noticing her hesitation. " is that he thinks we are not alone in the house. That's the chief thing." "Tell me more facts just facts."

Polly threw a bright smile across to her friend, while she answered merrily: "You wait! It's something pretty." "I guess Polly's had an awful good time," observed thoughtful Mary Pender; "she's so full of fun." Miss Lucy, entering the ward at the moment, overheard the remark, as her eyes met Polly's. The little girl waived a reply, and ran over to greet the nurse. "Is Mary right?"
Pender's face was grey and drawn; the hunted expression dominated it; the long recital had told upon him. "Thank you, Mr. Pender," he said, a curious glow showing about his fine, quiet face, "thank you for the sincerity and frankness of your account. But I think now there is nothing further I need ask you."
"You have earned your dismissal from Putnam Hall, Flapp, and you leave this camp as soon as arrangements can be made." "Going to fire me out, eh?" "You are dismissed. I will not allow such a boy as you to mingle longer with the rest of my pupils." "What are you going to do with the others? I wasn't to blame alone." "Pender, Rockley, and Jackson shall go, too.
Not wishing to have the ardor of his men quenched by the sight of his wounds, Jackson bade them take him aside into the thick bushes. But Pender, the general who was leading these troops, saw him and recognized him, despite the heavy veil of darkness and smoke.
