"I know of her," the general murmured.

"A noble woman! There are many such as she who have done great service to our cause that can never be repaid! But this is a stroke of fortune!" "Look, Merritt, Averill and all of you," he said aloud.

"Here lies our path! Mr.Shepard, you will go over the details of this with us and, Colonel Winchester, you and your aide remain also to help." Dick felt complimented, and so did Colonel Winchester.
