"You think with them, that he ought to go?" Hugh Marshall said presently with a shadow, I thought, on his words.
"I would not add one more to the war," I answered.
"Your mother does not think so."
"No."
"Mrs. Randolph has almost signified to me that her favour will depend on my taking such a course, and doing all I can to help on the Confederacy."
"Yes, I know," I said rather sadly; "mamma feels very strongly about it."
"You do not?"
"Yes, Mr. Marshall, I do; but it is in a different way."
"I wish you would explain," he said earnestly.
"But I do not like to set myself in opposition to mamma; and you ought to do what you yourself think right, Mr. Marshall; not what either of us thinks."
