Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Enemy's Camp Scene.-Captain Oliphant's home within the Northern lines. A handsomely furnished room. Sword and despatches on table, R.; other furniture ad libitum. Broad window at back, looking out upon landscape. Entrances R. and L. Capt. Oliphant and Dr. Farlee discovered. Capt. O. This is indeed serious business. War seems to be inevitable, and you can but see that I am placed in a very awkward position. These despatches (places hand on them) which I received are of the utmost importance. The rebel flag has been raised at Richmond, Colonel Ellsworth marched southward a week ago, and, in these despatches, I am ordered to follow him with what force I can muster. Dr. F. Um! That sounds serious. Capt. O. It sounds to me like the doom of all my happiness. Dr. F. Nonsense, man; you have to separate from your wife before the honeymoon is half passed, that's all. Capt. O. Ah, doctor, if this were all it would not be so serious, although to leave my wife so soon is bad enough. The man who unfurled the flag, and who is the loudest in proclaiming Southern rights, is my wife's father, Strathroy His devotion to the hopeless cause will only be satisfied by death. Dr. F. Well, you cannot help that. Capt. O. No, but I suffer all the same. He scorned me for my adherence to the government, and menaced Madge when he learned that her love for me was greater than her fear of his displeasure, and she had married me.
