midnight
You are very good and kind ! '' of the young girl ; and the two left the tent to follow out the directions of the officer . Bob Webster , unwounded , was already with his companions , picking up what he could find left in the way of rations , and telling over , for the sixth time already , the adventures of the night . Not to linger upon what no longer needs particular description , let it be said in a word that Crawford succeeded in securing transportation for the young girl and himself to Harrison 's Landing ; that they reached that return terminus of the campaign against Richmond , a little after midnight ; that a place was found on board one of the boats at the Landing , for Miss Hobart , under the kind care of the colored chambermaid ; that Colonel Warren kept his promise and procured the wounded Zouave , -LRB- whose arm had been examined by one of the surgeons , and found to be badly torn and lacerated , though none of the bones were broken -RRB- , his furlough for a month `` or until recovered ; '' that they went down the next day on the despatch boat to Fortress Monroe , whence General Wool at once sent them on to Washington ; and that on the evening of the Fourth of July they reached the city of New York , and John Crawford had the pleasure of placing his sacred charge under the protection of his brother , whom he found yet so sadly an invalid , -- and of his sister , who received her with a warmer and more considerate kindness than he had ever before known her to exhibit towards any living object . It has again been unavoidable , in following the fortunes of other characters connected with this narration , to lose sight of those who have prominently figured in the mansion of Judge Owen -- the Judge himself , his wife , his daughter Emily , Aunt Martha , and the two lovers who fought over that very pretty little bone as if they had been dogs and she a tit-bit of very different description . But it is one of the first principles of conducting the successful march of an army , that no stragglers should be allowed to lag too far behind , lest a sudden onslaught upon them might cause a panic extending to all the other portions of the force . Let the Judge and his family , then , be kept up as nearly as possible to the march of the main body ; and especially let not pretty Emily Owen and her mischievous printer-lover be lost from the ranks by any contingency .
