Ah well ! after-life has nothing half so sweet in it as that first truest love ; and a little knocking about against the harsh angles of the world soon takes off the undue self- esteem it may have fostered. All I know is, I would be glad to have somebody who believed in me utterly now. The times were too exciting for a lad of my age to sit with his toes under the table ; my mother, too, was busily engaged in making preparations to receive the strangers who were quartered in our house, so as soo...n as supper was ended I fared forth into the street again to pick up scraps of intelligence, and try to find out the latest news. I was too full of excitement to care to go to bed, and I found most of my fellow- townsmen were of my mind in this matter. I turned in first at Jemima Nicholas's house to see how she and her niece were getting on after their novel experience of warlike GENERAL TATE'S LETTER. 141 tactics on a large scale. Jemima, an im- mensely powerful woman, seemed only sorry that they had not come to close quarters with the enemy : she was truly a Celtic Amazon who took a pleasure in fighting for fighting's sake.
