It was yet early morning when the whole force left the village and marched at a swift pace toward Winchester.
General Jackson beckoned to Harry.
"Ride with me," he said.

"I've notified Colonel Talbot that you are detached from his staff and will serve on mine." Although loath to leave his comrades Harry appreciated the favor and flushed with pleasure.
"Thank you, sir," he said briefly.
Jackson nodded.

He seemed to like the lack of effusive words.

Harry knew that his general had not tasted food.

Neither had he.
