_3d Sol_. Nor me.--I don't intend to have my wife and children
tomahawked,--don't think I can stand that, refugee or not.
_2nd Sol_. Here they come.
(_Other Soldiers enter_.)
_5th Sol_. All's ready, all's ready.
_6th Sol_. (_singing_.)
"_Come blow the shrill bugle, the war dogs are howling_,"--
[_Exeunt_.

DIALOGUE II.
SCENE. _Before the door of the Parsonage. Trunks, boxes, and various
articles of furniture, scattered about the yard. Two men coming
down the path_.
(_George Grey enters_.)
_George_. Those trunks in the forward team. Make haste. We've no time to
lose. This box in the wagon where the children are.--Carefully--carefully,
though.
(_A Soldier enters_.)
_Sol_. Hurra, hurra, the house there! Are you ready? Ten minutes more.
_George_. Get out. What do you stand yelling there for? We know all
about it.
_Sol_. But your brother, the Captain, says, I must hurry you, or you'll
be left behind.
