"He knows what he will get if he does.

I was at school with him last year, and I am going to school with him again.

I will teach him to fight with any one else against an American!" This episode made the two boys closer allies than they would have been in a year of peace.
General Keith, finding his mission fruitless, asked leave to return home immediately, so that Gordon saw little more of his former foe and new ally.

One of the children was a very little girl, richly dressed in a white frock with a blue sash that almost covered it, with big brown eyes and yellow ringlets; the other child was a ragged girl several years older, with tangled hair, gray eyes, and the ruddy, chubby cheeks so often seen in children of her class.

The governess was in a state of great excitement, and was talking French so fast that it was a wonder any tongue could utter the words.
