observed a woman thrust her head out
OF a window and deliberately spit in the

along just before him.
Gen. Butler went up TO the house,
rang the bell, and said: Madame, you
represent one OF the Oldest families in
the south, but your manners have evil
IDENTIFY been neglected. Now am going
to put stop to this sort OF business.
