The sergeant's wife soon had her on exhibition through the neighborhood, and from that time forward she was quite a queen among us.

She had sweet blue eyes and pretty brown hair, with round, dimpled cheeks, and that perfect dignity which is so beautiful in a baby.

She hardly ever cried, and was not at all timid.

She would go to anybody, and yet did not encourage any romping from any but the most intimate friends.

She always wore a warm long-sleeved scarlet cloak with a hood, and in this costume was carried or "toted," as the soldiers said, all about the camp.
