With Lee in Virginia

CHAPTER XI
13/38

What money have you left ?" "Not a cent, sah.

I had only a five-cent piece left when we left St.
Louis, and I spent him on bread on de journey." "That is bad, Dan.

I did not think your stock was so nearly expended." "I had to keep myself, sah, and to pay for de railroad, and to buy dem t'ree suits of clothes, and to make de nigger I lodged with a present to keep him mouth shut." "Oh, I know you have had lots of expenses, Dan, and I am sure that you have not wasted your money; but I had not thought about it.

I have only got ten dollars left, and we may have a hundred and fifty miles to travel before we are safe.

Anyhow, you must get another disguise, and trust to luck for the rest.
