Hans Brickman told me to-night that 'tis no fancy, but a true thing, that the bees will leave a hive if death come unless they are told by a member of the family. The bee-folk are overwise, I know, and I mean to take no chances of their leaving. With the British at hand, honey is not to be despised. Come." Andy followed, wondering, but biding Ruth's time. She was a strange girl in all her ways.
You should hear the tales Hans Brickman tells of the doings in the patriot camp. He carries eggs and honey, you know. "He says that Washington isn't just fighting or holding in check the king's men; but his own troops are acting shamefully threatening to desert, and begging for money; complaining all day long. Oh! if I were a soldier I would show them!"
It is you they are after. Then, too, I know what the British expect to do. Hans Brickman found out and he is almost frightened to death with his secret. He thinks the British will see his secret written all over him, and he is afraid to go into camp the patriot camp, you know. He has honey and butter to sell, and he sells to friend or foe. I've told him I will go with him to-night."
