Early in the morning, Miss Fiske's pupils were gathered together for a Bible class. The women soon filled the room. The exercise continued all the forenoon, simply because it could not be closed. It was impossible to send away unfed those who hungered for the word. Among the women were a few men, one of them the husband of the inquirer. He was asked, "Have you and your wife chosen the good part?"
When the sun had made his round, and yielded his place to the friendly night, she would start afresh! In her bundle she had enough for the baby; for herself, she could hold out many hours unfed. A few more miles from Mortgrange, and no one would know her, neither from any possible description could they be suspected in the garments they wore!
The unfed soldiers, disheartened too at being so badly commanded, were always unsuccessful; there was no capacity in generals or ministers; no appointment except by whim or intrigue; nothing was punished, nothing examined, nothing weighed: there was equal impotence to sustain the war and bring about peace: all suffered, yet none dared to put the hand to this arch, tottering as it was and ready to fall.

And many of the wanderers were unclothed and unfed. More battles had been fought; factions had arisen among Union men. Another general had come to St. Louis to take charge of the Department, and the other with his wondrous body-guard was gone. The most serious problem confronting the new general was how to care for the refugees.
"The Future of the Race" watched him for a minute without moving, and suddenly he laughed. And in that laugh I seemed to hear innumerable laughter, the laughter in a million homes of the myriad unfed.
So, also, 'Tom o' Bedlam' was a better word for 'houseless misery, than all the king's prayer, good as it was, about 'houseless heads, and unfed sides, in general, and 'looped, and windowed raggedness.
'All our thoughts, wrote O'Connell, 'are engrossed with two topics endeavouring to keep the people from outbreaks, and endeavouring to get food for them. In many instances the landlords seemed robbed of the characteristics of ordinary humanity, for the ruthless process of eviction was carried on with a high hand, and old men and children were left unsheltered as well as unfed.
