At the time of which I now write, officers in the quartermaster's, commissary's and adjutant general's departments were appointed from the line of the army, and did not vacate their regimental commissions until their regimental and staff commissions were for the same grades. Generally lieutenants were appointed to captaincies to fill vacancies in the staff corps.
The rude cross surmounting the gable above its entrance was twined with morning-glory vines that had found their way to it after hiding the low, thick, black walls beneath; and surrounding the building was a fence of scantlings built every spring by the chaplain to keep the troop horses and the commissary's cows from grazing off its sides, and stolen every fall by the half-breeds when the first frosts came that served as a hitching-post for raw-boned army mounts and scraggy Indian ponies.
Don Luis Perenna went with Mazeroux to the commissary's office at Passy, where Mazeroux, on Perenna's instructions, gave his name and asked to have M. Fauville's house watched during the night by two policemen who were to arrest any suspicious person trying to obtain admission. The commissary agreed to the request. Don Luis and Mazeroux next dined in the neighbourhood.
In a few moments they began to enter the Commissary's boats, and proceeded to New York.
His choice of Bristol was peculiarly unlucky. The "chapman" of the town was the step-father of Cole, the Oxford proctor: to this person, whose name was Master Wilkyns, the proctor had written a special letter, in addition to the commissary's circular; and the family connexion acting as a spur to his natural activity, a coast-guard had been set before Garret's arrival, to watch for him down the Avon banks, and along the Channel shore for fifteen miles.
This caused me much chagrin at first, but the commissary of my division soon put in an appearance, and assured me that the loss would not be very disastrous to us nor of much benefit to the enemy, since the cattle were so poor and weak that they could not be driven off. A reconnoissance in force verified the Commissary's statement.

"Where are you going, old darling?" "To the commissary's, to lodge my complaint, and this portrait as proof of the persecutions I am overwhelmed with." "But what will you complain of?" "What will I complain of?
"The troopers at the stable say ye found Captain Boyde. Is he bad hurt?" he demanded. "To the death," spoke up the squire, for once missing the commissary's attempt to keep him silent. "Hast caught Brereton?" Janice had sprung to her feet and now stood listening, with a half-eager, half-frightened look. "Brereton!" cried Philemon. "Did he head the party?"
"And you might ring all night," added the voice, "and be none the better for it. You would only keep me awake." "Thank you, neighbour," replied the singer. "You shall sleep." And he made off again at his best pace for the Commissary's. Elvira was still walking to and fro before the door. "He has not come?" asked Léon. "Not he," she replied. "Good," returned Léon. "I am sure our man's inside.
