Note 46 — Chapter V
Reading edition
This was not the only poetical effusion of the gallant general. He also composed the following lines on a young lady who died in consequence of dancing too much, and drinking too much lemonade, at a ball:
“Do you know who’s gone away?
Do you know who’s gone away?
The masquerade and lemonade
Have done for Jenny Conaway.”
Miss Knight, on the authority of Lieutenant Koehler.
