Perched high upon his shoulders was a child of three or four years, with both hands planted firmly in the thick hair.

The small feet crossed over the man's neck kicked upon his chest, but he seemed to enjoy the sport as much as the child did.
Harry paused and stood at attention until the man saw him.

Then he saluted respectfully and said to General Jackson: "I wish to report to you, sir, that I delivered the order to General Garnett, as you directed, and here, sir, is his reply." He handed a note to the general, who read it, thrust it into his pocket, and said: "That ends your labors for the day, Lieutenant Kenton.

Come in now and join us." He picked up the child again, and carrying it in his arms, led the way into an inner room, where he gave it to a nurse.

Then they passed into the library, where Dr.Graham, several generals and two or three of Winchester's citizens were gathered.
All gave Harry a welcome.
