"No, I'm going to Rogers's Island." "You be? Why, the excursion aint till tomorrow!" I said "What excursion?" before I thought. "Why, the Comp'ny. Aint you heard 'bout the Comp'ny? Gran'father's goin'. Everbody's goin'. Don't you live in Lanesport?" "No, I don't know anything about it. What is it, a picnic? How many people live there, on Rogers's Island?"
"Fairly well; but if he guesses anything, his face didn't show it." "His face never shows anything, because there's nothing to show. He has cultivated that sibylline look until people think he's a wonder. But he's simply a stupid ignoramus." "Oh, come, Godfrey," I protested, "you're prejudiced. He went right to the point. Do you know Rogers's story?" "About the woman? Certainly.
Later in the year wild roses were found at Hampstead; and on a memorable day the invalid almost perfect in health was guided by kind and learned Mrs Jameson through the pictures and statues of the poet Rogers's collection.
I hold it to be a great insolence to deny my right to quote Paul or David, as much as Plato or Homer, and adopt their language whenever I find it to express my sentiment. Mr. Rogers's claim to deride highly spiritual truth, barely because I revere it, is a union of inhumanity and impiety. He has nowhere shown that Paul meant something "totally different" from the sense which I put on his words.
Some days after this, Whitney came to me and asked if I knew Barney Rogers's address. I said, "No." He told me it was in the roster lately published by the regimental association. I found it and at once wrote to the address, and briefly inquired if he was the little Barney Rogers that I cut the breeches off from at Antietam.
We must remember, however, that Rogers's office was not brilliantly lighted, and that he merely glanced at her. Still, whatever minor differences there may have been, she had the air, the general appearance, the look of Miss Holladay. Mere facial resemblance may happen in a hundred ways, by chance; but the air, the look, the 'altogether' is very different it indicates a blood relationship.
George Cocke, be correct, it would seem that Sherman attempted to cross Bull Run lower down than Poplar Ford, which is "about one mile above the Stone Bridge," but was driven back by the fire of Rogers's guns to cross at that particular ford; for Rogers, in that Report, says that about 11 o'clock A. M., the first section of the Loudoun Artillery, under his command, "proceeded to the crest of the hill on the West Side of Bull Run, commanding Stone Bridge. * Here." continues he, "I posted my section of Artillery, and opened a brisk fire upon a column of the Enemy's Infantry, supposed to be two regiments, advancing towards me, and supported by his battery of rifled cannon on the hills opposite.
A shout a jet or two of sparks a bang on the thin timbers as on a drum and the hoofs were thudding away farther and farther into darkness. Silence and then Mr. Rogers's voice uplifted and shouting for Hodgson! But Hodgson, it seemed, had found out a way of his own.
It spanned a narrow stream, not much more than a creek, running through the marsh. This was the only water which divided Rogers's Island from the mainland. On the railing of the bridge was tacked another pink poster. There were some hand-bills blowing around on the bridge, and I picked up one or two of them.
Then Rosa Rogers's father one day stopped at the Tanners' and left a contribution with the teacher of fifty dollars toward the new piano; and after that it was rumored that the teacher said the piano could be sent for in time to be used at the play.
