The wondering starlight, the ghostly sand road leading off among the pines, the shadowy closed station, all bewildered her. At dusk the evening before, she had left the crowded, lighted city, had gone to sleep and dreamed. Still in the dusk, she had been called up and left on the lonely station platform where she stood. "Your trunk is already in the carriage," said the general, picking up her valise. "This way. Miss Cameron came, Peter." A white-haired negro driver bowed and replied, "We suhtainly is glad to see you, miss," while the general helped her into the carriage. Gabrielle did not know who the general was or why he was meeting her, until he said, "I am an old friend of your mother's, dear Miss Gabrielle. She was greatly admired in Virginia, and I one of her warmest admirers. Miss Sarah sent me to bring you safely to Sweet Hall. I am General Brandon."
