Eliza Frances Andrews, The war-time journal of a Georgia girl, 1864-1865, chapter 7 (search)
finished dressing to go downstairs, Garnett sent word that he had invited a party of Confederate officers, on their way back to Virginia from various points where they had been stranded, to take supper with us. Only two of them came, however, Maj. Hallet, a very boyishlooking fellow for a major, and Capt. Selden, a very handsome man, and as charming as he was good-looking. The others wouldn't come because they said they were too ragged and disreputable to go where ladies were. Captain Selden told some very funny stories of their pinching and scheming to make their way without money. We have been flanking hotels ever since we left Macon, he said with a laugh, and I was so glad we had the remains of our good dinner to give them. Maj. Hallet said he staid in Macon four weeks after he got his discharge trying to raise money enough to pay his fare home, but couldn't clear 50, and Garnett consoled him by confessing that he had just had to beg father for a quarter to pay the barber.
