On the 11th day of October, 1863, after an absence of three months duration, during which time I had been commissioned major to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Weber, I took passage at Washington on a ramshackle train over the Orange and Alexandria railroad to go to the front again. Storrs, whose wound had healed, joined me and we made the journey together.
"I see no difficulty," I assured him. "The charter specifies 'died in honorable estate. Matrimony is an honorable estate. How she lived before that is between her and a gentler Judge than Bartholomew Storrs." "Give her a straight course and a fair judge and I'll back Min to the limit," said Mr. Hines so simply and loyally that no suggestion of irreverence could attach to him.
But young Storrs chose the better part, and no temptation of fame or pelf allured him from the higher work of preaching Jesus Christ to his fellow men. He was like Chalmers and Bushnell and Spurgeon a born preacher.

But I have a feeling that Storrs has some reason for wishing to repudiate his views on this subject just at this time. What it is I do not, of course, know, but his vehemence makes me think so. I think I should let him have his rein. Keep you quiet. It may damage you a little here and there, but in the end it won't harm you. In the main point, you are right. You are not a forger.
Though he himself was born Storrs, his wife was born Williams; and I could have lain at his feet and cried, so open was the heart of this good man to a wanderer rebounding from a family that disowned the pretender. He was my welcome back to America.
Colonel Storrs is the very last man to be called militaristic in the narrow sense; he is a particularly liberal and enlightened type of the sort of English gentleman who readily served his country in war, but who is rather particularly fitted to serve her in politics or literature.
His extraordinary memory was an immense source of power to Dr. Storrs; and, although he had a rare gift of fluency, yet I have no doubt that some of his fine efforts, which were supposed to be extemporaneous, were really prepared beforehand and lodged in his tenacious memory. Dean Stanley, on the day before he returned to England, said to me: "The man who has impressed me most is your Dr. Storrs."
Further commentary was cut off by the return of the sexton-poet. "If you will kindly give me the death certificate of the late lamented," said he. "What becomes of it after I deliver it?" asked Mr. Hines. "Read, attested, and filed officially." "Any one else but you see it?" "Not necessarily." "That's all right, then." Hardly had Bartholomew Storrs glanced at the document received from Mr.
Think back, Bartholomew Storrs, to the day when you stood by another grave, close to that which waits to-day for the weary sleeper Bartholomew Storrs rested, opened the door and stood by it, grimly waiting. Mr. Hines turned to me. "What is this thing, Dominie; a man or a snake? Will I kill it?" "Bartholomew," I began. "When we " "Not a word from you, Dominie. My mind is made up."
