"We have our disguises, sir, and shall be ready to start tomorrow morning." "You have lost no time," the general said approvingly. "You will, of course, ride to Chivasso.
"I wish any one were with Shank rather than that man," said Charlie sternly; "I have no confidence in him whatever, and I knew him well as a boy." "Nevertheless, I think we may trust him.
