I bade Delia crouch down by the stream's bank, where many alders grew, and set off toward this column of smoke. By the spot where the road cross'd I noted that many men and horses had lately pass'd hereby to westward, and, by their footmarks, at a great speed. A little further, and I came on a broken musket flung against the hedge, with a nauseous mess of blood and sandy hairs about the stock of it ; and just beyond was a dead 'horse, his legs sticking up like bent poles across the road. 'Twas ...here that my blood went cold on a sudden, to hear a dismal groaning not far ahead. I stood still, holding my breath, and then ran forward again. The road took a twist that led me face to facQ 120 The Splendid Spur. with a small whitewashed cottage, smear'd with black stains of burning. For seemingly it had been fir'd in one or two places, only the flames had died out : and from the back, where some out- building yet smoulder'd, rose the smoke that I spied. But what brought me to a stand was to see the doorway all crack'd and charr'd, and across it a soldier stretch'd — a green-coated rebel — and quite dead.
