As the brigade had marched back the night before, so the whole army marched forward to-day.
The fact that Jackson's men always marched faster than other men was forced again upon Harry's attention.

He remembered from his reading an old comment of Napoleon's referring to war that there were only two or three men in Europe who knew the value of time.

The day passed hour by hour and the army sped on, making only a short halt at noon for rest and food.

Harry joined the Invincibles for a few moments and was received with warmth by Colonel Leonidas Talbot, Lieutenant-Colonel Hector St.Hilaire and all his old friends.
"I am sorry to lose you, Harry," said Colonel Talbot, "but I am glad that you are on the immediate staff of General Jackson.

It's an honor.
