And yet, it seemed as if some one had cast a reflection upon Sandy so much did it annoy her. She was unpacking the desired article from a bale, hidden by a pile of supplies which The Woman had brought out the evening before, when voices from the other side of the barrier reached her. "She won't stay President long, I bet." It was Tilly's voice and Tilly's giggle accompanied it.
He passed on, however, without meeting with any of the foraging parties, and by morning was fifteen miles away from Tilly's camp. Entering a wood he threw himself down and slept soundly for some hours. It was nearly noon before he started again. After an hour's walking he came upon the ruins of a village.
In his retreat to Wolmerstadt, Tilly's army was weakened by numerous desertions. Fortune seemed to have forsaken him since the carnage of Magdeburg. The King of Sweden, on the contrary, was followed by uninterrupted success.
'My dear Cousin, The "Southern Cross" arrived safely this morning. Thanks to God! 'What it is to us even you can hardly tell; I know not how to pour out my thankfulness. She seems admirably adapted for the work. Mr. Tilly's report of her performance is most satisfactory: safe, fast, steers well, and very manageable.
That general, too proud to act in conjunction with another, had dispatched Tilly across the Elbe, to watch, as he gave out, the motions of the Dutch in that quarter; but in reality that he might terminate the war against the king, and reap for himself the fruits of Tilly's conquests.
'Don't you wish you could find a purse full of money right here in the path? said Kate, the child who was going to have 'lots of presents. 'Oh, don't I, if I could keep it honestly! and Tilly's eyes shone at the very thought. 'What would you buy? asked Bessy, rubbing her cold hands, and longing for her mittens.
Her eyes grew moist before she laid it down; but she set her mouth more firmly. "It is an awful short time, but I've just got to hurry and have it over before she comes," said she. Next week Jane returned. She was on the train, waiting in her seat in the car, when Captain Ferguson handed her Tilly's last letter, which had lain in the post-office for three days.
It was still too dark for him to see the flush on Jim's thin cheeks or to know that it was a flush of unfamiliar shame. Over Tilly's garage a bleak room echoed all day to the rumble and snorting down-stairs and the singing of the negro washers as they turned the hose on the cars outside.
Falkenberg, roused by the report of musketry, hastened from the town-house, where he was employed in despatching Tilly's second trumpeter, and hurried with all the force he could hastily assemble towards the gate of the new town, which was already in the possession of the enemy.
We made no question of passing the river here, having brought everything so forward, and with such extraordinary success; but we should have found it a very hot piece of work if Tilly had lived one day more, and, if I may give my opinion of it, having seen Tilly's battery and breastwork, in the face of which we must have passed the river, I must say that, whenever we had marched, if Tilly had fallen in with his horse and foot, placed in that trench, the whole army would have passed as much danger as in the face of a strong town in the storming a counterscarp.
