"
the soldier gave an account of what happened afterwards : "the general stopped, dismounted, and came towards me. i at first thought he meant to kill me. but as he came up he looked down at me with such a sad expression upon his face that all fear left me. he extended his hand to me, and grasping mine firmly, said, 'my son, i hope you will soon be well.'
