"General Lee." A statement. A greeting. A question. "General" with a hard "g," and each syllable precisely enunciated. And something odd about the accent. More like "Gaynayral Lay." The two officers in gray jackets stared down from their horses at the stranger who stood by his own mount, a beautiful bay. The soft radiance of the paschal moon revealed a man in uniform, but the jacket and trousers were neither blue nor gray. The newcomer was dressed in black. From his bearing, clearly a soldier. Rank uncertain. The stranger saluted the tall officer with the white beard. "General Lee. I am Oberst Karl von Mainz, of the Army of West Germany." If General Lee was puzzled, he concealed it well. He returned the salute and nodded toward his companion. "Colonel von Mainz, my aide, Major Potter." He studied the visitor a moment. "I presume you are a military attaché from His Majesty, King William of Prussia. Welcome, sir. We haven't had an attaché since the British Colonel Freemantle rode with us to Gettysburg. You must have overcome incredible hardships to join me here at Appomattox Court House, and quite possibly to no purpose." He peered through the semi-light. "I don't remember you in Richmond. How did you get through? The roads are jammed with Union troops." "I used ... a different approach, Herr General."
