"Jus' 'bout now he's sittin' down at the table back theah in Meridian with a sight of fancy grub lookin' back at him. How long you think he's gonna take to bein' corraled that way?" "General Buford gave him strict orders personally " "Nice to have a general take an interest in you," Kirby commented.
