"Oh, we are fresh fish," laughed Hallam. "I don't deny it. But Lord! what an army we look like! It ought to scare the Johnnies into the Union again, just to look at us; but I don't suppose it will."

Excerpt: ...ragged blouses." "After all," said Ailsa, smiling, "what troops have really seen war yet-except the regiments at Bull Run-and those who have been fighting in the West?" "Oh, we are fresh fish," laughed Hallam. "I don't deny it. But Lord! what an army we look like! It ought to scare the Johnnies into the Union again, just to look at us; but I don't suppose it will." Ailsa scarcely heard him; she had caught the sound of regular and steady steps moving up and down the wooden walk outside; and she had caught glimpses, too, of a figure in the starlight, of two figures, Berkley and Letty, side by side, pacing the walk together. To and fro, to and fro, they passed, until it seemed as though she could not endure it. Hallam laughed and talked, telling her about something or other-she did not know what-but all she listened to was the steady footsteps passing, repassing. "Your orderly-" she scarce knew what she was saying-"is the same-the one you had Christmas Eve?" "Yes," said Hallam. "How did you know?" "I re-thought so." "What wonderfully sharp eyes those violet ones of yours are, Ailsa! Yes, I did take Ormond with me on Christmas Eve-the surly brute." "Or-Ormond?" "That's his rather high-flown name. Curious fellow. I like him-or try to. I've an odd idea he doesn't like me, though. Funny, isn't it, how a man goes out of his way to win over a nobody whom he thinks doesn't like him but ought to? He's an odd crab," he added. "Odd?" Her voice sounded so strange to her that she tried again. "Why do you think him odd?" "Well, he is. For one thing, he will have nothing to do with others of his mess or troop or squadron, except a ruffianly trooper named Burgess; consequently he isn't very popular. He could be. Besides, he rides better than anybody except the drill-master at White Plains; he rides like a gentleman--and looks like one, with that infernally cool way of his. No, Ormond isn't very popular." "Because he-looks like a gentleman?..".
