00:00:00.510 --> 00:00:03.850 align:middle line:90%
"In Manassas."

00:00:03.850 --> 00:00:07.810 align:middle line:84%
"After a minute or two, you
walk on in the direction

00:00:07.810 --> 00:00:11.050 align:middle line:84%
in which your ancestors
were said to live.

00:00:11.050 --> 00:00:14.200 align:middle line:84%
You're not much surprised by
the general's disappearance

00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:17.240 align:middle line:84%
as you're getting used
to such things happening.

00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:19.240 align:middle line:84%
But while you're
passing by the place

00:00:19.240 --> 00:00:24.010 align:middle line:84%
where the general had been,
he suddenly appears again.

00:00:24.010 --> 00:00:27.010 align:middle line:84%
By the by, what
became of your family?

00:00:27.010 --> 00:00:30.180 align:middle line:90%
I'd nearly forgotten to ask.

00:00:30.180 --> 00:00:34.110 align:middle line:84%
You quietly say, they
survived, but they

00:00:34.110 --> 00:00:37.440 align:middle line:90%
didn't stay here after the war.

00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:41.820 align:middle line:84%
I thought not, says the
general, and vanishes slowly.

00:00:41.820 --> 00:00:45.580 align:middle line:84%
Beginning with the
broad brim of his hat,

00:00:45.580 --> 00:00:49.680 align:middle line:84%
the grin remains for some
time after the rest of him

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:51.750 align:middle line:90%
has gone."

00:00:51.750 --> 00:00:52.860 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:00:52.860 --> 00:00:54.710 align:middle line:90%
