We have to laugh over our trials and tribulations. Where we
had plenty a week ago, plenty of exercise, and many favors, we are now right
where we were at first, fareing just as the rest, with no favors shown us. It's
all right, we can stand it just as well as the rest. We have never belittled
ourselves in the least in our dealings with the rebels. Bossieux told us
himself, as we came inside, that he didn't blame us in the least for trying to
get away, but he was obliged to punish us for the attempt. Hendryx says that he
will be out again in three days.
