His companion's ready wit and knowledge of the world the very worst part of the world, unhappily amused the languid Anglo-Indian: and by the time the travellers reached Winchester, they were on excellent terms with each other.
Johnston evacuated the place upon Patterson's approach, and retreated up the Shenandoah Valley, in a southwesterly direction, to Winchester. Patterson followed part way, and the two armies now lay watching each other. Anxious to see the rebellion put down by one blow, the North was becoming impatient.
