Sheridan was not on the ground to direct the attack in any way; nor was the division commander on the ground. It was Custer's attack and it was Custer's victory. The only dismounted cavalry that attacked Barlow was Rosser's cavalry, and Custer's cavalry was between Rosser and Barlow.
Vinton either did not hear, or was too much "under the influence of a pardonable excitement and zeal" to heed the order to halt, and continued on down the road to and beyond the station, where he overtook the rear of the Fifth and proceeded to assist in the endeavor to bring away the captured property. He was attacked by Rosser who made a lot of his men prisoners.
Sybil, it is true, had too much experience to be actually astonished at such enormity, but nevertheless she was deeply shocked. Why, Miss Rosser was engaged to be married to the colonel at the time when she had been seen in Mark Driver's arms. "Understand," said Jimmy, "Carrissima is not to be told. No one knows but the two concerned and myself. I was never so sorely tempted in my life."
The tents were struck, the artillery horses attached to the gun carriages and caissons, and the cavalry horses saddled. No bugle call was sounded. The firing grew heavier, and from the hill where Custer was, rang out on the air the shrill notes of Foght's bugle, telling us that our old commander had taken the alarm. Rosser had attacked the pickets at the fords and was driving them in.
Get her and Lawrence to fix an evening this week if possible and then ask Miss Rosser." "Lawrence is not likely to come," suggested Carrissima. "Why not?" "Anyhow, he refused to allow Phoebe to go to Golfney Place!" "You will kindly do as I tell you," said the colonel. "Lawrence has more sense than you give him credit for."
While Merritt was engaged in this service the Baltimore and Ohio railroad once more received the attention of the enemy; Rosser, with two brigades of cavalry, crossing the Great North Mountain, capturing the post of New Creek, with about five hundred prisoners and seven guns, destroying all the supplies of the garrison, and breaking up the railroad track.

"A libel," he protested. "I have never seen a more transparently innocent face in the whole course of my life." "Still, I am certain I have kept you from going to your club or somewhere. Of course I am duly grateful. Carrissima said I might come here whenever I felt too lonely." "My dear Miss Rosser," said Colonel Faversham, "I am afraid it must be a rather dull life you're leading.
"He is going to have a party of his own next week," said his mother. "Beginning early," returned Bridget, as the door opened and Lawrence and the colonel came in. "What's that, what's that?" demanded Colonel Faversham, crossing the room to Bridget's side. "I was telling Miss Rosser," Phoebe explained, "that Victor is going to have a party. Eight children all under three."
She lived in a delightful, old-fashioned house with a rambling garden, situated about a quarter of a mile from that which Colonel Faversham had rented furnished for the summer because of its proximity to the golf-course. At the club-house Colonel Faversham met David Rosser and Mrs.
