I said they was regular star-eyes, jes' shining blue with them black eyelashes rayin' out all 'round, an' he said yes, that was the right name fer 'em star-eyes." There was a mist over the star-eyes as Lucy turned away. "That's right; set right down there by the winder. It's so pretty out today it makes you feel good clean down yer back."
Was it merely recollections, or did his desperate spirit revisit the route of its life in a fruitless flight from Death? His voice came from far away, and what he said showed that he was at least living over the older days. "Yes, Meg, Hi loves you. There hisn't a king, girl, has Hi would change plyces with for you.... Posies for yer winder. Let 'em grow, till we've other posies in our 'ome.
Before he could leave Winder he ran into a strong Northern force at Charleston, and the Southern division attacked at once with all the dash and vigor that Jackson had imparted to his men. They had, too, the confidence bred by continuous victory, while the men in blue were depressed by unbroken defeats.
A few days later on the evening of the 6th of September the Rebel Sergeants who called the roll entered the Stockade, and each assembling his squads, addressed them as follows: "PRISONERS: I am instructed by General Winder to inform you that a general exchange has been agreed upon. Twenty thousand men will be exchanged immediately at Savannah, where your vessels are now waiting for you.
Colonel D. T. Chandler, of the Rebel War Department, sent on a tour of inspection to Andersonville, reported back, under date of August 5, 1864: "My duty requires me respectfully to recommend a change in the officer in command of the post, Brigadier General John H. Winder, and the substitution in his place of some one who unites both energy and good judgment with some feelings of humanity and consideration for the welfare and comfort, as far as is consistent with their safe keeping, of the vast number of unfortunates placed under his control; some one who, at least, will not advocate deliberately, and in cold blood, the propriety of leaving them in their present condition until their number is sufficiently reduced by death to make the present arrangements suffice for their accommodation, and who will not consider it a matter of self-laudation and boasting that he has never been inside of the Stockade a place the horrors of which it is difficult to describe, and which is a disgrace to civilization the condition of which he might, by the exercise of a little energy and judgment, even with the limited means at his command, have considerably improved."
"You tell Bunt Rogers that he's a-gittin' too big fer his britches, an' first thing he knows, he'll whirl round an' see his naked nose. Tell him I said so." "Well, is they any Santy Claus?" "W'y cert. Ain't I a-tellin' you? Laws! ain't you never seen him yet?" "I seen that kind of a idol they got down in Plotner's winder." "Well, he looks jist like that, on'y he's alive."
Thou know'st poor, patient, suff'rin, dear how thou didst work for her, seet'n all day long in her little chair at thy winder, and how she died, young and misshapen, awlung o' sickly air as had'n no need to be, an' awlung o' working people's miserable homes. A muddle! Aw a muddle! Louisa approached him; but he could not see her, lying with his face turned up to the night sky.
"Allowin' that Nick Undrell entered by the broken winder an' carried off the valuables you've just bin figurin' up, why, when he went into th' other room, did he take the cigarettes an' leave the tobacco?" "That's a very interestin' proposition which has already occurred to me," said Kiddie. "You see," pursued Rube, "Nick ain't a cigarette smoker. He looks on a cigarette as a childish plaything.
But to resoom: The evenin' we got there Josiah looked out of our winder and see a camel kneelin' to take on its load, and sez Josiah: "If I could train the old mair to kneel down in front of the Jonesville meetin' house for me to git onto her back, how uneek it would look." Sez I coldly, "Then you lay out to go to meetin' horseback, do you? And where should I be?"
It seemed to be a figure of some sort, in white as far as he knew couldn't see its face; but it wived at him, and it warn't a right thing not to say not a right person. Was there a light in the room? No, he didn't think to look if there was a light. Which was the window? Was it the top one or the second one? The seckind one it was the big winder what got two little uns at the sides.
