But I had more reason to be sorry before I got back to him. The Trophy House was quite a bit from the kennels, and as I left it I see Miss Dorothy and Woodstock Wizard III. walking back toward them, and that a fine, big St. Bernard, his name was Champion Red Elfberg, had broke his chain, and was running their way.
But Jackson, although Ashby had been driven in, still held obstinately to his position, and from Woodstock and Edenburg Banks refused to move. "Immediately," however, in Banks' opinion, was capable of a very liberal interpretation, for it was not till April 17 that he once more broke up his camps. Well might Gordon write that life at Edenburg became monotonous!
Such are morning thoughts, strong as carle-hemp says Burns "Come, firm Resolve, take thou the van, Thou stalk of carle-hemp in man." Charles went by the steam-boat this morning at six. We parted last night mournfully on both sides. Poor boy, this is his first serious sorrow. Wrote this morning a Memorial on the Claims which Constable's people prefer as to the copyrights of Woodstock and Napoleon.
About half-past eight the head of the column first came in contact with the rear-guard of the enemy, but this was soon driven in, and no further resistance was offered until about an hour later, at the crossing of a creek near Woodstock, a brisk fire of musketry, aided by two guns in the road, was opened on Molineux's front, but was quickly silenced.

"Not more than may be drawn by the point of a needle," said the preacher, scornfully. "Ye tailors of Woodstock! for what is a glover but a tailor working on kidskin?

Master Holdenough, were come to wait upon him. Here we have one head Upon two bodies, your two-headed bullock Is but an ass to such a prodigy.
