The Star of Gettysburg

CHAPTER XIII
12/65

What kind of a country is this, Harry, into which we've been resurrected ?" "Stop your foolishness, Happy.

You're alive, all right, although you may not be to-morrow night.

The whole Army of the Potomac is coming up and there's going to be another great battle." "Then it's just as well that I'm alive, because General Lee will need me.

But, Harry, don't you think I've answered enough questions and that I've been awake long enough?
Harry, remember that I'm your friend and comrade, almost your brother, and let me go back to sleep." "Where is St.Clair?
Was he killed ?" "No.

A million shells burst over both of us, but we escaped them all.
But Arthur will be dead to the world for a while, just the same.
His is the fourth figure beyond me, but you couldn't wake him if you fired a cannon at his ear, and in two minutes you won't be able to wake me with another cannon." Happy's head fell back as he spoke, and in less than half the time he gave he had joined the band of the original seven sleepers.
