"Yes, I know all of our Generals; and I know you, too."
"Where did you ever see me?"
"A'n't you the lady that sent Colonel Slemmens the boquet last summer, when he was on outpost duty, with his regiment, at Cold Water?"
"Why, yes, I believe I was; where was you?"
"I was sent from Lumpkins' Mills, by General Villipique to Colonel Slemmens, with orders."
"Where do you belong?"
"I belong to the 17th Mississippi Zouaves, the pride of the Confederacy."
"Who is the Colonel?"
"Colonel Hanner."
"Yes, yes! that's a fact! I thought that you was fooling me, at first, but I don't think you are now. How in the world did you come to be up here?"
