Hallie

The boots she wore with the Milly dress on Inauguration Day, for example, belonged to her daughter-in-law, Hallie.

They tell me that Hallie's husband an' the Yankee was mighty nigh the same age, an' had a sorter favor.

They were all ready to start when an orderly dashed up on horseback, and handed Hallie a letter, saluted, and rode off.

Then, and only then, did Hallie cease her sobbing to sit staring round-eyed at the fire.
