For the life of me I couldn't make up my mind what to say about them, so I sent the Byrd home by Tolly, who was going to take Edith out to see how her okra was progressing, and stayed in the safe shelter of my home. On the Byrd's rompers I pinned this note: Strike, if you will, my young back, But spare, oh spare, this little brat! There are all kinds of poetry in the world.
"Well, you must know, this was the way of it and it do make me larf yet when I think o' the face o' that spider-legged critter goin' at the rate of twenty miles an hour or thereabouts wi' that most awful-lookin' grizzly b'ar peltin' after him. Hist! Look there, Tolly. A chance for your popgun."
Finally, at Tilsit, Marshal Macdonald with 35,000 Prussians formed the left wing. Across the Nieman was the Russian army of about 400,000 men, commanded by the Emperor Alexander, or rather by Benningsen, his chief-of-staff. This force was divided into three parts, commanded by Generals Bagration, Barclay de Tolly and Wittgenstein. Four historians have written about the campaign of 1812.
I told her not to tell anybody but Sue, and she went home completely comforted by her friendly interest in Peter and me. In fact, she really adored the idea of helping me help Peter, and seemed to forget her anger at Tolly with a beautiful spirit. About that time Eph solemnly called me in to lunch.
They seemed, in short, to be a happy community, the various members of which had leaned to a large extent from their chief "how good a thing it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." A tent was provided for Bevan, Flinders, and Tolly Trevor near to the wigwam of Unaco, with a separate little one for the special use of the Rose of Oregon.
Thank you, O'Malley, that will do, merely to touch my lips. Well, well, it's all past and gone now; but I was very fond of Tolly Hackett, and she was of me.
So saying, he turned and gave some directions to his warriors, who at once scattered themselves among the underwood and disappeared. Ordering the Indians who carried Tom Brixton to follow him, and the riders to bring up the rear, he continued to advance up the gorge. "A devil with two faces!" muttered Tolly; "that must be a queer sort o' beast!
"Well done, Tolly Trevor!" shouted Paul Bevan, enthusiastically. Even Tom Brixton, who had been looking on in a state of inexpressible surprise, managed to utter a feeble cheer. But the resources of the robber were not yet exhausted.
They charged with their usual impetuosity, and drove the Russian right wing, under General Barclay de Tolly, out of the wood; but Bennigsen skilfully availed himself of this occurrence; by his orders Barclay de Tolly retired much further than was necessary for his own safety, and the French, advancing unguardedly, found themselves confronted on very unfavourable ground with the Russian main body, which had now been arranged on a new line of battle, and of a battery of 120 guns, placed so as to command their march with terrible efficacy.
The exclamations of surprise would no doubt have been redoubled at this sight if the power of exclamation had not been for the time destroyed. The sham botanist in particular was considerably puzzled, for he at once recognised Tom and also Betty, whom he had previously known. Of course he did not know Tolly Trevor; still less did he know that Tolly knew him.
