Chukwuma Okorafor Jersey

It was being made. The air was in anguish with the din of tree-felling and log-chopping, of stamping, neighing, braying, whooping, guffawing, and singing--all the daybreak charivari beloved of a camp of Confederate "critter companies." In the midst of it a chum and I sat close together on a log near the mess fire, and as the other boys of the mess lifted their heads from their saddle-tree pillows, from two of them at once came a slow, disdainful acceptance of the final lot of the wicked, made unsolicited on discovering that this chum and I had sat there talking together all night. I had the day before been wheedled into letting myself be detailed to be a quartermaster's clerk, and this comrade and I were never to snuggle under the one blanket again. The thought forbade slumber.

"Yes, so called. He wa'n't a lieutenant then, he was a clerk, like you or me."

"How long have you belonged to Ferry's scouts?" sceptically demanded their spokesman.

"Yes," I said, and handed her, as I dismounted, the General's gift, the pass.
