Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Soldier of Virginia: A Tale of Colonel Washington and Braddock´s Defeat It was not until he sneered at me openly across the board that I felt my self-control slipping from me. "Lieutenant Allen seems to have a poor opinion of the Virginia troops," I said, as calmly as I could. "Egad, you are right, Lieutenant Stewart," he retorted, his eyes full on mine. "These two weeks past have I been trying to beat some sense into the fools, and ´pon my word, ´tis enough to drive a man crazy to see them." He paused to gulp down a glass of wine, of which I thought he had already drunk too much. "I saw them this forenoon," cried Preston, who was sitting at Allen´s right, and was like to die of laughing. Poor Allen, there, was doing his best to teach them the manual, and curse me if they did n´t hold their guns as though they burnt their fingers. Arid when they were ordered to ´bout face, they looked like nothing so much as the crowd I saw six months since at Newmarket, trying to get their money on Jason."
