The poor old parson has failed consider'ble and Maria Price's housekeepin' and cookin' is enough to make a well man sick or wish he was. But he'll be looked after now. Helen will look after him. She's the most capable girl there is in Ostable County. Did she tell you about what she done in the Red Cross and the hospitals?" "She said something about it, not very much." "Um-hm.
Sturgis has brought his command one hundred and fifty miles in ten days. He says that large numbers of deserters have come into his lines. Price's followers are becoming discouraged by his continued retreat.
Martin. Have a drink of tea?" "Yes, I met them," replied the stranger. "Old Price's teams, I think Good day, Martin six or seven miles from here; Dixon travelling behind, with another fellow driving his team long-lost brother, apparently."
Talbot, who remarked the extreme relish she had for Miss Price's company, thought that the reputation such a woman had in the world might prove injurious to his mistress, more especially from the particular intimacy there seemed to exist between them: whereupon, in the tone of a guardian rather than a lover, he took upon him to chide her for the disreputable company she kept.
So far as Rodney Gray could learn, there was not a man in his regiment who would have volunteered if he had seen a fair chance to desert and get across the river. Desertion was a thing that had never been talked of before among Price's men. As volunteers, they would have died rather than think of such a cowardly way of getting out of the army, but it was different now.
We oughter left one man here to take care uv 'em, knowin' George Mason as we do. "I had an idea," said Dr. Price's son Brinsley, "that we should have done something of that kind." "Idees ain't no good," said Tony with a grunt, as he marched off toward the blacksmith's shop at Jordan's cross-roads.
"Sixty fathom of two-inch chain, and old Joe talks about parting." "Foolish, of course," said Philip; "but it's a dangerous shore." "That's so," was the answer. "Never saw so many lines of reef show outside, neither." "There's an old saying on this shore," said Joe: "When Price's Neck goes to Brenton's Reef, Body and soul will come to grief.
It is imperative that something of the sort must be done. It comes to this, captain, I don't feel that it's quite honest to be taking your money for the mockery of teaching the boys, particularly Alick! As he forced himself to speak thus, a dark-red flush rose to Philip Price's brow, for he was one of the over-sensitive folk. 'Pshaw, man!
He had also conferred with an agent from the Indian Nation, with a view to putting several thousand Indians into the field on the side of the Rebels. General Lyon wanted an "overt act" on the part of the Rebels, before commencing actual hostilities. Price's proclamation was the thing desired. The troops in and around St. Louis were drilled as thoroughly as possible.
His remains, more than once violated by the Indians and the wolves, were suffered at length to remain undisturbed in their wild burial place. For several days we met detached companies of Price's regiment. Horses would often break loose at night from their camps. One afternoon we picked up three of these stragglers quietly grazing along the river.
