The battalion of regulars was abreast of me, of which Major Rufus Saxton was in command, and I gave him an evening paper, which I had bought of the newsboy on my way out.

She ambled to the lake shore, feeling feebler, more slapped and sent back to be a good little girl, than she had when Milt had hitched a forest to the back axle, three days ago. A map of her thoughts about Jeff Saxton would have shown a labyrinth. Now, she was muttering, "Dear Jeff! So thoughtful! Clever of him to find me! So good to see him again!"

She came West early, and had a hard time, but she's real Brooklyn Heights and she belongs to Gramercy Park and North Washington Square and Rittenhouse Square and Back Bay, too, though she has got out of touch a little. So I wanted you to meet her." Milt wondered what unperceived bag of cement had hardened the faces of Saxton and the Gilsons.
The King, who was present, and was unable to complain of a decision evidently just, went into a rage with Saxton, and vowed that the wretch should first be pilloried before Westminster Hall for perjury, and then sent down to the West to be hanged, drawn, and quartered for treason. The public joy at the acquittal of Delamere was great. The reign of terror was over.
"All right," Devant returned cheerfully, "I'll starve then. Saxton won't be down until to-morrow." "That so?" James B. had returned to his work unconcernedly. "Why, this is dreadful!" Janet could but smile at Devant's indifferent face. "I suppose you couldn't cook for yourself even if you were starving. I wonder if I might do something for you now?"

We all admitted that it was a striking and comprehensive description. For instance, as to courage.
And at the centre of all this great and joyous circle stood modestly the man on whose personal integrity and energy, more than on any President or Cabinet, the hopes of all that multitude appeared to rest, who commanded then among his subjects, and still commands, an allegiance more absolute than any European potentate can claim, whose name will be forever illustrious as having first made a practical reality out of that Proclamation which then was to the President only an autograph, and to the Cabinet only a dream, who, when the whole fate of the slaves and of the Government hung trembling in the balance, decided it forever by throwing into the scale the weight of one resolute man, who personally mustered in the first black regiment, and personally governed the first community where emancipation was a success, who taught the relieved nation, in fine, that there was strength and safety in those dusky millions who till then had been an incubus and a terror, Brigadier-General Rufus Saxton, Military Governor of South Carolina.
