“You flatter my pride, general!”
“I do you justice—but to the point. Your story was cut off in the middle. After the interview in Washington, you continued to see Colonel Darke and his wife?”
“I saw them frequently, general.”
“In the army—and at their home, both?”
“Yes, general.”
“Where did they live?”
“Near Carlisle, Pennsylvania.”
“Where you were on a visit, just before the battle of Gettysburg?”
“Yes, general.”
“Very good!”
