The only events were those related by the newspapers which were handed to us through the gates in the morning. The war got on very slowly; it immobilized itself, and we we did nothing, between the roll-calls, the parades, and from time to time some cleaning fatigues. We said that perhaps, undoubtedly indeed, we should stay there till the end of the war. We moped.
Hungerford was an interested spectator. Daniel, who was not interested, and felt himself in the way, moped in his own room or went upon more of the lonely walks about town. There were "open" meetings occasionally and these Captain Dan seldom attended. Mr. Hungerford acted as his wife's escort and seemed to enjoy it, in his languid fashion. Mrs.
"Well, Irene, what is your decision about the party at Mrs. Churchill's to-night?"

"That was every word of it true," came the quick answer. "Oh! he was the finest old gentleman you ever heard about. I grew very fond of him; and when I received word in a letter from his housekeeper that he had died, shortly after his wife went, it broke me all up.
