All at once the chief uttered a peculiar sound, and the men who were seated sprang to their feet, and stood watching the tall, fierce-looking fellow. He spoke again, and without a word they all moved off quickly toward the settlement, making straight for Colonel Preston's estate. I sat there watching them till the last man had disappeared.
"But why don't we have all the story?" insisted Nora. "O, these are only pictures, you know; that is all; people dressed up to look like pictures." "They don't look like pictures a bit, I think," said Nora; "they look just like people." Daisy thought so too, but had some faith in Preston's and Mrs.
Clanrickarde, in Preston's tent, was doing the work of stimulating the old antipathy of that general towards O'Neil, which led to conflicting advices in Council, and some irritating personal altercations.

"The girls are planning a candy frolic for next Friday night, and were going to ask your permission to-day, only they haven't had time yet. May we have it over in the kitchen of the cottage, and may the boys come, too?"
"O I should like that!" said Daisy eagerly. She saw the kindness of Preston's meaning. He wanted to make her forget her vexations. "And may we go too?" Nora asked.

But Hobart Ward's 38th New York, which Wilcox has ordered up to support the 1st Michigan, on our extreme right, in this flanking movement, has been misdirected, and is now attacking the Enemy's centre, instead of his left; and Preston's 28th Virginia which, with Withers's 18th Virginia, has come up to the Rebel left, from Cocke's Brigade, on the Enemy's right finding the 1st Michigan broken, in the woods, attacks it, and wounds and captures Wilcox.
