Who is it that feeds me so mysteriously?" "Has he been coming of late?" asked Mrs. Tilghman. "No, not since you were married, Vesta." "Then I think it will come no more," Milburn said. "You have waited longer than I did." His eyes sought his wife's. He added: "Will I ever be more than your husband?"
Tilghman and me, who were writing, rode forth, followed by his faithful black Billy, whom we used to credit with knowing more of what went on than did we of the staff. Mr. Evans, a chaplain, was fain to see more of the war than concerned him, and came after us. As we approached, Billy, riding behind me, said as the cannon-shot went over us: "Dem redcoats is p'intin' us mighty well."
Then you won't have to bowhunt inedible sea animals." "It's fun," Rick returned. "I'd want to do it even if I could spear fish. Want to take a shot?" "I'll take a shot after you've boated your first ray." "Fair enough," Rick agreed. Mrs. Brant asked, "Where are we going, Rick?" He pointed to the peninsula. "Around that land. There's a creek on the other side called Tilghman Creek.
Edward Tilghman, though, and of Captain Abner G. Tilghman, his elder brother, was both a tragedy and a mystery the biggest tragedy and the deepest mystery our town had ever known or ever would know probably. All that anybody knew for certain was that for upward of fifty years neither of them had spoken to the other, nor by deed or look had given heed to the other.
"You mean when a man 's so foppish that he will have them made tight enough to display the goodness of his thighs," rejoined Gibbs, who, being dry, was enjoying the plight of the rest. "Make yourselves smart, gentlemen, there are ladies at quarters to-night." "You don't puff that take-in on us, sirrah," retorted Tilghman. "'Pon honour.
Tilghman, too, accused himself that he felt a little relieved when he escorted Rhoda back to Meshach's in another bonnet, and Vesta followed, with her great shaggy dog, Turk; she not unconscious though serene and thoughtfully polite to all she knew of people peering at her in wonder and excitement from every door and window of the town.
"Pardon my mentioning a subject so irrelevant to you, sir, but, though I have surrendered every vain emotion for my cousin, her happiness is a part of my religion, and this sudden conclusion of her marriage, about which I have asked only one question, has urged me to throw myself upon your sympathy." "What do you ask, William Tilghman? No matter your request is granted."
"Janice Meredith! Wilt never give thy thoughts to something else than men?" "Well, Brereton," asked Tilghman as the aide joined his fellow-soldiers, "how did his Excellency take your boldness?" "As punishment he sent me to examine Gibbs' Venus." "Devil take your luck!" swore Gibbs. "I'll be bound ye made it none too short. Gaze at the smug look on the dandy's face."
The rebels already occupied two towns in the State, Columbus and Hickman, on the Mississippi; and at the very moment the National troops were entering Paducah from the Ohio front, General Lloyd Tilghman a Confederate with his staff and a small detachment of men, were getting out in the other direction, while, as I have already said, nearly four thousand Confederate troops were on Kentucky soil on their way to take possession of the town.
Some rumours had been spread, and spy accounts sent out, but no certainty until the admiral's despatches came to hand. Inclosed I send you his letter, and that of M. de St. Simon, both of whom I request you will have translated by Tilghman or Gouvion alone, as there are parts of them personal, which I do not choose to shew to others.
