'' `` Thank you , general , but we have enough to last us for a considerable time , having brought up six thousand rounds . '' `` A good provision indeed , '' the general laughed ; `` enough to last you through half a dozen pitched battles . I shall be in the town at six o'clock to-morrow morning , and shall be pleased to inspect your little corps before you start . '' `` I thank you , general ; we shall all be very proud to be inspected by you . '' Then saluting he returned to his horse and rode back to Dundee . He was pleased to see that the eleven little tents had been erected strictly in line , that the horses were all standing quietly at the picket-rope , and that two of the troop were placed as sentries .
