Colonel Winchester's own mellow whistle finally recalled his men, as he did not wish them to become scattered among the mountains in pursuit of detached guerrillas.
Winchester's factotum, and though he had himself much to learn, the country and its habits being new to him, still he saved his friend from fundamental errors, and, from five in the morning till eight at night, put zeal, honesty and the muscular strength of two ordinary men at his friend's service. At the expiration of this period Mr.
Dick and his comrades uttered a great shout as they saw the white flag go up over Fort Henry, and then the cannonade ceased, like a mighty crash of thunder that had rolled suddenly across the sky. Dick was the first in Colonel Winchester's troop to see the white flag floating over Fort Henry and he uttered a shout of joy. "Look! look!" he cried, "the fleet has taken the fort!"
Behold the glory of God extending, and the gospel spreading through the whole land!" Of course, it was easy for a man to see and to hope and to say all this; but it is a little curious, is it not, that he should have seen things just as they have turned out?

It would have been so to me had I had a personal part, other than my interest in Miss Trelawny, in the matter. As it was, however, I stood it unruffled. I was now an attorney in the case; an amicus curiae in one sense, in another retained for the defence.

The devotion of Mr. Sheridan to the Dean of Winchester's daughter, Miss Esther Jane Ogle or "the irresistible Ogle," as she was toasted at the Kit-cat was now a circumstance to be assumed in the polite world of London.
