"Can you see up there some mounted officers?"
"Yes."
"Do you see the white horse?"
"Yes."
"That's General Lee, Emmyline." Private Christy spoke in a solemn tone. "That's something for you to remember all your life."
"I'd rather see General Meade," said Emmeline defiantly.
"But you don't mind lookin' at my general," answered Private Christy good-naturedly.
Presently there began again another general movement of the troops about Grandfather Willing's house. They marched forward toward the ridge and passed over it, and disappeared into the valley where yesterday the cannon had roared. Now, except for the distant rumble, there was no sound.
"Where have they gone?" asked Emmeline.
"Over there," Private Christy replied noncommittally.
