Major Posey mounted the works almost at the same instant, and was the first to give the watch word "The fort's our own." Lieutenants Gibbon and Knox performed the service allotted to them with a degree of intrepidity which could not be surpassed. Of twenty men who constituted the party of the former, seventeen were killed or wounded.
The following are some typical entries from Washington's Where & how my time is Spent: "Jany. 1st. Fox huntg. in my own Neck with Mr. Robt. Alexander and Mr. Colville catchd nothing Captn. Posey with us." There were many similar failures and no successes in the next six weeks, but on February twelfth he records joyfully, "Catchd two foxes," and on the thirteenth "catch 2 more foxes."
He simply has an unconscious feeling about it which he has breathed into his being from the mountain air around him and absorbed from the earth which has been his bed for many and many a night. It is there, just as the dirt on his neck is there, and Posey is equally unconscious of them both.
"There is a free Bible class every Sunday afternoon in the basement of the cigar store next to the church. Peace be with you. Amen. Farewell." Elsie went on her way. She was soon in the downtown district where factories abound. On a large brick building was a gilt sign, "Posey & Trimmer, Artificial Flowers."
Gridley," she said, "and I've been wanting to tell you something ever so long. My friend Mr. Clem Clement Lindsay does n't care for me as he used to, I know he does n't. He hasn't written to me for I don't know but it's a month. And O Mr. Gridley! he's such a great man, and I am such a simple person, I can't help thinking he would be happier with somebody else than poor little Susan Posey!"
Rucker in his long drawl as he dropped himself over the corner of the counter, "looks like the Honorable Gid kinder fooled along and let Cupid shed a feather on him and then along come somebody trying to pick his posey for him and in course it het him up. You all 'pear to forget that old saying that it's all's a fair fight in love and war." "Yes, fight; that's the word!
Who do you think is coming?" said Susan Posey, her face covered with a carnation such as the first season may see in a city belle, but not the second. "Well, Susan Posey, I suppose I must guess, though I am rather slow at that business. Perhaps the Governor. No, I don't think it can be the Governor, for you would n't look so happy if it was only his Excellency.
Now it had come to be the common talk of the village that young Gifted Hopkins and Susan Posey were getting to be mighty thick with each other, and the prevailing idea was that Clement's visit had reference to that state of affairs. Some said that Susan had given her young man the mitten, meaning thereby that she had signified that his services as a suitor were dispensed with.
"It is a great trouble, Miss Cynthy," she said, "a great trouble to have such a child as Myrtle to think of and to care for. If she was like our Susan Posey, now! but we must do the best we can; and if Mr. Gridley once sets himself to it, you may depend upon it he 'll make it all come right. I wouldn't take on about it if I was you. You let me speak to our Mr. Gridley. We all have our troubles.
At this moment he would rather have kept up with the fastest reaper in Posey County, on the hottest of July days, than to have cooked the coarse dinner which his 75 comrades expected to be ready for them when they returned, tired, hot and hungry, from the morning drill. He went back to the barracks and inspected the company larder.
