Sherman. I mean, sir, did you notice if he was an officer?
Hezekiah. I never thought ter ask him ’bout that. He tumbled so fast. I had ter hump ter keep up. Why, he’s the same feller I see trying ter crawl under Frank’s tent.
Sherman. Who is Frank, sir?
Hezekiah. Jehosafat! Don’t you know Frank?
Sherman. I think not, sir.
Hezekiah. (Pulling Halcom to the front.) There is jest the handsomest piece er furnicher this side er sundown.
Sherman. Why, you rascal, that is General Halcom.
Hezekiah. You git out! That’s our Frank.
Sherman. Look here, sir, you were on guard last night.
Hezekiah. (Looking at Sherman, and then aside.) Jewrusalem! That was the old Gineral I run into last night. Now I’ve gone and spilt the apple sass all over the best table cloth. (Turns and grasps Sherman’s hands.) How de dew? I know’d that was you last night, all the time. Ain’t I the wust blackguard you ever run into?
