I know the question of age with a lady is usuall) hedged with sour- hesitancy in answering, but since each of you served in the war of the rebellion which commenced, lacking one year, fifty years ago, the presumption is that none of von will answer to less than three-score and ten, and at thai age there will m>t be much hesitanc) in answering this usually delicate question 'if age.
