"What time did the alarm happen?"

"About two o'clock."

"Wal, about midnight a figger that favored you 'mazingly, yes, ter
yer very walk, came up boldly en sez ter me, nodding at the Yank,
'Leave 'im ter me.' The figger wasn't jes' dressed like you in
'Federate uniform, but I kin a'most swear the figger had on them
clo's and that hat you're a wearin' now; arm in sling, too. What's
mo', when I thought hit over I was cock sure the figger wuz
shorter'n you air. I don't believe there's a Yank livin' that could
a fooled me last night, 'less he had yer clo's on en yer walk."

"My uniform and hat hung on the chairs beside me, just where they
had been put when I went to sleep."

"Jes' tell me ef the do' o' yer room wuz locked."

"I wasn't in a room. I slept at the end of the hall."

"Then enybody could git 'em en put 'em back while you wuz asleep."

"She couldn't knock you senseless. You're talking wild."

"I've schemed that out. Thar's tracks in the gyardin not so blinded
but they kin give a hint ter a blind hoss. Thar's a track nigh whar
I fell mighty like what that infernal nigger Chunk ud make. Beyond,
ez ef some uns had hidden in the bushes, right in the gyarden bed,
air two little woman-like tracks en two men tracks."
