As he gathers up the bridle rein an' swings into the saddle, a mad thirst to fight, die an' bleed for my country seizes me, an' I grabs the reb's hoss by the bits an' detains him. ""Say, Mister," I pleads, "why can't you-all take me with you?" "" Which you're a lot too young, son," says the reb, takin' another size-up of the Yanks.
We did not allow them long to debate, but went right towards them on the double quick, with the bayonets looking awful savage and hungry. It was too much for Mr. Johnny Reb's nerves. They all seemed to about face' at once, and they lit out of there as if they had been sent for in a hurry. We chased after 'em as fast as we could, and picked up just lots of 'em. Finally it began to be real funny.
He then seized upon Hannah's hand and pressed his grimy lips to that, murmuring in German: "Thou lookest so charming this morning, like the roses of Carmel." Next he bent down and pressed his lips to the Reb's coat-tail. Finally he said: "Good morning, sir," to Levi, who replied very affably, "Good morning, Mr. Pinchas," "Peace be unto you, Pinchas," said the Reb.
"You've so much dried mud on you that you look as if you'd been passin' through a river." "Correct. That's exactly what happened." "But there's none on your horse." "He didn't pass with me. I'm willing to answer any reasonable number of questions, but, as I told you before, I ride on an important service. I must have breakfast at once, and I'll pay." "Whose service? Ours or Reb's?"
Pinchas followed him soon, inwardly upbraiding Reb Shemuel for meanness. He had only as yet had his breakfast for his book. Perhaps it was Simcha's presence that was to blame. She was the Reb's right hand and he did not care to let her know what his left was doing. He retired to his study when Pinchas departed, and the Rebbitzin clattered about with a besom.
The intense heat was not as bad as a battle, but some of our men were used up by it. I think it must have been in the neighborhood of 10 a. m. when some of our men spoke out: 'There's the reb's planting a battery. Every eye was turned in the direction indicated.
"My Hannah will teach you, God bless her." Reb Shemuel's voice was a bit husky. He bent down and kissed Hannah's forehead. "I was a bit link myself before I married my Simcha" he added encouragingly. "No, no, not you," said David, smiling in response to the twinkle in the Reb's eye. "I warrant you never skipped a Mitzvah even as a bachelor."
She not only gave alms to the poor, but made them givers, organizing their own farthings into a powerful auxiliary of the institutions which helped them. Hannah's sweet patience soothed Esther, who had no natural aptitude for personal philanthropy; the primitive, ordered pieties of the Reb's household helping to give her calm.
"Oh, what a game!" he panted, wiping the tears from his eyes. "I say, though, he never missed the water-jug. What's the matter?" "Matter!" I cried; "it's a shame to lock us up here like two prisoners in this old lumber-room." "Oh, never mind! it's only old Reb's nasty petty way. I don't believe the Doctor knows.
