"You give me credit for the tragic element," she continued, under her breath, as Mr. Raleigh quietly passed her. "That is old style. To be sure, I might as well die there as in the swamps of Florida. Purcell is ordered to Florida. Of course, I am ordered too!"

"I do go to Florida every winter, and sometimes, on the way to our place, I stop for a day or two at St. Augustine yes." She looked at Jane again, as if to say, "That is really the best I can do for you." "She played backgammon with you there," Jane still persisted "on the hotel veranda. I've heard her say so twenty times." Mrs. Bates did not change her expression. "Backgammon?

General Jackson, being ordered to subdue the Seminole Indians in Florida, who were harbouring fugitive slaves, invaded the Spanish territory, cleaned it up in the true Jacksonian manner, hanged two Englishmen, and "omitted nothing that characterises a haughty conqueror," as Onis, the Spanish Minister at Washington, protested.
