The boy, sitting entranced in reverie, scarcely heard him; and it was only when a far trumpet blew from the camp in the valley that he started in his saddle and raised his rapt eyes to the windows. Somebody had hung out a Union flag over the jasmine-covered portico.
"There it is! There it is, Mose!" he cried excitedly, scrambling from his saddle. "Here--take the bridle! And the very minute you hear the general dashing into the drive, let me know!"
He ran jingling up the resounding veranda--he wore his father's spurs--and mounted the stairs, two at a jump, calling: "Celia! Celia! You'll be glad to know that a general who is a friend of mine----"
