summary:
  We were waiting for orders by our fire, and filled up the time pressing horses in the town, from a kind consideration of the feelings of the owners, that they should not fall into the hands of the Yankees, much to the disgust of the said owners, who seemed much to prefer (good men and true as they were) the possible chance of the Yankee to the certainty of the Confederate abstraction. Many would not have hesitated to accept the offer for Halifax and rations; but, in distant Southern homes were old men, helpless women and children, whose cry for help it was not hard to hear.

  As the ashes from old Virginia arose Phoenix like from humiliation and re-established her State government, thereby enabling her to get rid of the barnacles which had nearly sapped her political life and she struggled on through many trials and hindrances until at last each year brought new evidences of substantial success and prosperity. There were two churches near Woodland, the Presbyterian was called Bethlehem, a name connected with many good associations; the other was an Episcopal one, and named Emmanuel, which name suggests many Christian ideas.

  That Benham was making tremendous personal sacrifices, Stephen knew, and the young man's voice was tinged with emotion as he answered, I'm afraid I'm not much of a speaker. One doesn't have to have a reason for knowing things--at least one doesn't unless one is a man.

  I liked it very much, and so did Mrs. Blackburn, but Miss Blackburn really showed some temper because he would not change a line when she asked him to. Well, I thought that Miss Blackburn was right when she said the line was all out of character with the speaker; but Mrs. Blackburn did not agree with us, and when Mr. Wythe appealed to her, she said it was just perfect as it was, and that he must not dream of changing it.

  They are laughing at our passions, Mr. Prescott, perhaps smiling is the word, he said. Mrs. Prescott embraced her son, and she was even less demonstrative than himself, though he was generally known to his associates as a reserved man; but he knew the depth of her feelings.

  It used to be the custom to address the lady you were engaged to as 'Miss Sally' up to the day of the marriage. George--I mean old George--was telling me about you, Ben, he went on after a minute, and as soon as I heard of your troubles, I said to Tina--'We've got a roof and we've got a bite, so they'll come to us.'
