On the 23d Hancock's corps was moved to the wooden bridge which spans the North Anna River just west of where the Fredericksburg Railroad crosses. It was near night when the troops arrived. They found the bridge guarded, with troops intrenched, on the north side. Hancock sent two brigades, Egan's and Pierce's, to the right and left, and when properly disposed they charged simultaneously.
Festus Willard gained a response from Hal. "You're treating her very harshly, Hal." "We're giving the facts, Lady Jinny." "Are they the facts? All the facts?" "So far as human eyes could see them." "Men's eyes don't see very far where a woman is concerned. She's very young and headstrong, and, Hal, she hasn't had much chance, you know. She's Elias Pierce's daughter."
Pierce's health would induce me to leave the Country now, although it is quite likely that my presence at home would be of little service.
Pierce's, where I find her as fine as possible, and Mr. Pierce going to the ball at night at Court, it being the Queene's birthday. I also to the ball, and with much ado got up to the loft, where with much trouble I could see very well. Anon the house grew full, and the candles light, and the King and Queene and all the ladies sat: and it was, indeed, a glorious sight to see Mrs.
"Why, that's John M. Gibbs's store, isn't it?" "Sure." "And he's E.M. Pierce's brother-in-law. I thought he'd stick by his family in fighting the 'Clarion." "Family is all right, but Grinder Gibbs is for business first and everything else afterwards. Our rates look good to him, with the circulation we're showing. And he knows we bring results.
I staid till the King went down to receive the Sacrament, and stood in his closet with a great many others, and there saw him receive it, which I did never see the manner of before. Thence walked to Mr. Pierce's, and there dined: very good company and good discourse, they being able to tell me all the businesses of the Court: the amours and the mad doings that are there: how for certain Mrs.
"Oh, I don't feel motherly," she asserted, still suffused with that telltale flush. "Not in the way you mean. But you'll always be a boy to me and to every other woman who learns to care for you." "Every other woman?" Pierce's eyes opened. "What a queer speech. There aren't going to be any OTHER women."
About this time I read Baxter's 'Saint's Rest. I do not think any book affected me more powerfully. As I walked the pavements I used to wish that they might sink beneath me if only I might find myself in heaven. I was at the same time very much interested in Butler's 'Analogy, for Mr. Brace used to lecture on such themes when I was at Miss Pierce's school at Litchfield.

Pierce's vicarage any day. What were you asking about Whitcrow? I don't think it ever struck me before that it may have come from White Crow. But a white crow, Rosamond, that would be a funny thing!
