If English soldiers came marching that way Ruth knew well that their purpose would be to capture American scouting parties, and she became more eager than ever to go to Valley Forge, and again asked Aunt Deborah if she could not go. But Aunt Deborah promptly responded that such a visit was impossible. "Tis a ride of over ten miles, and a ford to cross," she said.
Finally I was very rude to a customer and I went on to try something else. I forget what came next. I think it was the stage. I travelled for a year with a touring company.

The Southern leader, after sending the majority of his men to a new crossing lower down had forced the ford before the Winchester regiment, and would have crushed it if it had not been for the opportune arrival of Grierson. But a tremendous cheer arose as the Northern cavalry leader, who was already proving his greatness, charged into the battle with his grim troopers.
But as they drew nearer they perceived the pedestrian to be not a man but a woman; and when they met Bryant recognized in her the girl who had sat by Charlie Menocal in his automobile at the ford. Her gray corded riding habit was dusty; she appeared both hot and tired; and her countenance showed a deep dejection. The horse she led was limping. Bryant raised his hat and addressed her.

"He didn't." "Then why did you come?" "Mr. Ford was mad with papa, and stole me away." "He wouldn't steal me away easy!" said Abner, defiantly; "but, then, I ain't a little kid like you." "I'm not a kid," said Herbert, who was not used to slang. "Oh, you don't know what I mean you're a little boy and couldn't do nothin'. If he tried to take me, he'd find his hands full."
