Word of the haunting reached General Andrew Jackson,legendary victor
of the Battle of New Orleans in 1812.Upon hearing of the Bell Witch,
Jackson determined it was high time that he paid John Bell,his longtime
friend,a visit.Even the man who later became the seventh American President,
it turned out,was not immune to the spirit's mischief.Trouble begane brewing
as his procession approached the Bell property.Wagon wheels locked up and
horses stopped dead in their tracks.Not until an eerie-sounding voice
uttered,"Go on,old General," were the horses able to proceed."By the eternal,
boys,"Jackson whispered to his horror-struck men,"it is the witch!"
我想請問倒數第二句的 "By the eternal,boys"該怎麼解釋阿?
那boys是形容什麼東西呢?
