- THE MASK OF IGNORANCE
- I could not see the speakers ... I tried to turn my head, but could not.
- The man, said, "You feel better now, don't you?"
- I counted again,--one, two, three, four, five, _six_; how is that?
- I could not reply. He went away.
- He said, "Look! How many?"
- I said, "Two."
- I was silent. I did not understand the question.
- I thought he was meaning to ask my age.
- I replied, "Twenty-one." My voice was strange to me.
- I looked at him, and said nothing.
- I shrank, and he laughed.
- I made a motion of my head--moaning half assent.

- I asked, "Whose picket is that?"

- I remember that at that moment I thought of our Captain--dead that day.
- I spoke again, "Gentlemen, is that the picket of Ramseur's brigade?"
- Again I spoke, "Gentlemen, is that Ramseur's North Carolina brigade?"
- Again I spoke, "Will you please tell me what brigade that is?"
- A voice replied, "Our brigade!"
