Excerpt from A Soldier of Virginia: A Tale of Colonel Washington and Braddock's Defeat It was not until he sneered at me openly across the board that I felt my self-control slipping from me. "Lieutenant Allen seems to have a poor opinion of the Virginia troops, " I said, as calmly as I could. "Egad, you are right, Lieutenant Stewart, " he retorted, his eyes full on mine. "These two weeks past have I been trying to beat some sense into the fools, and 'pon my word, 'tis enough to drive a man crazy to see them." He paused to gulp down a glass of wine, of which I thought he had already drunk too much. "I saw them this forenoon, " cried Preston, who was sitting at Allen's right, and was like to die of laughing. Poor Allen, there, was doing his best to teach them the manual, and curse me if they did n't hold their guns as though they burnt their fingers. Arid when they were ordered to 'bout face, they looked like nothing so much as the crowd I saw six months since at Newmarket, trying to get their money on Jason."
