When they arose Milburn seemed speechless, yet he tried to raise his hand, and, Vesta coming to his aid, his long, lean fingers closed around hers, and he signalled to William Tilghman with his eyes. The bishop came near, and, by a painful effort, Milburn put his wife's hand in her cousin's. His lips framed a word without a sound: "Restitution."
Father, you are to go with me to the church you and Virgie. Mr. Tilghman is to marry us." "Now, Vesta," spoke the young man, as her father left the room, "whom are you going to marry, cousin, in such haste as this?" "Did you have the church made ready, William, as I requested?" "I did. The sexton is there now, lighting the fire." "I thought you were loyal as ever, William, and depended upon you.
On our first appearance Tilghman had sent his entire command, with the exception of about one hundred men left to man the guns in the fort, to the outworks on the road to Dover and Donelson, so as to have them out of range of the guns of our navy; and before any attack on the 6th he had ordered them to retreat on Donelson.
"Does your grandfather know you are here, lad?" said Mr. Tilghman. I paused a moment for breath before I answered: "He attended the rally at the dock himself, sir, and I believe enjoyed it." Both gentlemen smiled, and Mr. Chase remarked that if all the other party were like Mr. Carvel, troubles would soon cease. "I mean not Grafton," says he, with a wink at Mr. Tilghman.
He was excited at the prospect of seeing her again, and hastened to arrange a dinner, to which she must be bidden. The young men did as they chose about entertaining, sure of Washington's approval. "Ah, I know Miss Schuyler well," exclaimed Tilghman, when Hamilton remarked that they should immediately show some attention to the daughter of so illustrious a man as General Schuyler.
Perhaps because he had started first perhaps because his glasses were the more expensive and presumably therefore the more helpful Captain Abner Tilghman came to the concluding paragraph first. He read it through and then Judge Priest turned his head away, for a moment almost regretting he had chosen so public a place for this thing.
General Tilghman, commanding the fort, his staff, and about 120 men were captured, with many guns and a large quantity of stores. The principal loss on the Union side was the scalding of 29 men on the gunboat Essex by the explosion of her boiler, pierced by a shell from the fort. Grant had no instructions to attack Fort Donelson, but he had none forbidding him to do it.
Tilghman a letter to be sent to the commissary, containing an order of a pressing and interesting nature. Returning to the General, I was stopped on the way by the Marquis de Lafayette, and we conversed together about a minute on a matter of business. He can testify how impatient I was to get back, and that I left him in a manner which, but for our intimacy would have been more than abrupt.
The marquis had marched from Head of Elk to the Bald Friars' ferry up the Susquehanna and inland among the hills to Baltimore, and we gave him a ball which, at his request, was turned into a clothing-party. He snuffed so much that he kept up a sniffle all the evening, like " Here Rhoda's sniffle was heard again. "Yes, that's a good imitation," said Grandmother Tilghman, "but I don't like it."
The rest of 'em gits filled up, an' kadgin's the on'y way to kadge through of 'em, Misc Somers says." "She means warping, or pulling over a shoal inlet by a rope to an anchor, as the water lifts the vessel." "Yes, you know, Mr. Tilghman," Rhoda cried, delighted; "that's kadgin' pullin' over the bar by the anchor line.
