Removed on his convalescence from Wells's roof to his mother's rooms at The Virginia, Forrest saw no more of his hostess for several days.

"I'll never forgive him as long as I live," said Mrs. Wells.

They looked at me curiously as I first appeared, but the one who asked my business wore the insignia of a corporal, and was evidently in command. "I wish to look out over the stockade, if there is no objection. I came in with Captain Wells's party this afternoon," I said, not knowing what their orders might be, or if I would be recognized.
Arline had written her father for the promised check for five hundred dollars, which would be deposited in the bank in Gertrude Wells's name as soon as it arrived.
