The enemy had recoiled before Gordon, and he pressed forward, sweeping every thing in his path for nearly a mile beyond the court-house. On his right Fitzhugh Lee's horsemen thundered forward on the retiring enemy; and Carter's guns advanced at a gallop, taking positions Starke to the left and Poague to the right of the road from which they opened a rapid fire upon the Federal line of battle.
But the venal companions had never stayed long, either they disliked Miss Starke, or Miss Starke disliked them. Therefore the poor woman had resolved upon bringing up some little girl, whose heart, as she said to herself, would be fresh and uncorrupted, and from whom she might expect gratitude.
Starke did not know that Nevins was honest at least in one statement, that he expected dismissal. His fate was sealed, his pay was confiscated to square shortages. There was actually nothing to be gained by staying at Cooke in virtual confinement, perhaps eight or ten weeks, until his case could be decided in Washington and the orders received back in Arizona.
"Give me your arm, I am not proud. After all, thank Heaven, I shall not sleep in the country." And John Burley made a night of it in the Fleet. Miss Starke was one of those ladies who pass their lives in the direst of all civil strife, war with their servants.
It was resented, too, by almost everybody that Loring would not say when and how he expected to leave Camp Cooke. He had come on Sancho's famous roan, but had returned that animal by special courier without delay. Starke and Turnbull were informed, but at Loring's request saw fit to hold their tongues.

Take care of it. I should like to know that something of mine is with you; and perhaps I may not stay here long." "Not stay here? That you must, my dear Helen, at least as long as Miss Starke will keep you, and is kind. But oh, Helen! I forgot you wounded me; you left your money with me. I only found it in my drawers the other day. Fie! I have brought it back." "It was not mine, it is yours.
Keene flied out on high fast balls over the inside corner; Starke bit on low drops; Martin was weak on a slow ball; MacNeff, the captain, could not touch speed under his chin, and he always struck at it. On the other hand, he killed a low ball. Prince was the only man who, in Ken's judgment, seemed to have no weakness.
I have looked from it so many times, so many trying if I can guess the roofs in our poor little street, and fancying that I do see the dear elm-tree. Miss Starke is very kind to me; and I think after I have seen you, that I shall be happy here, that is, if you are happy. Your own grateful sister,
Jackson was desired to cover Longstreet's left; and sending Starke and Lawton across the meadows, strewn with the bloody debris of Porter's onslaught, he instructed Hill to advance en echelon with his left "refused." Anticipating the order, the commander of the Light Division was already sweeping through the Groveton wood.
