I have no business or profession: we could easily spend a part of every year in America if it were desirable." "That would certainly make it easier, but it will be better to defer writing till we have some intimation of Miss St. Clair's sentiments. Her father will be guided chiefly by her inclination." "It is a nice country for young girls, America," said he with a smile.
I could not at first tell what was uppermost; only that St. Clair's words were those that most returned to me. "She has changed. "Had I changed? or was I going to change? was I going to enter the lists of fashion with my young companions, and try who would win the race?
The guides and a few light horse headed the column, followed by the vanguard, and the advance party under Gage. Then came St. Clair's working party, two fieldpieces, tumbrels, light horse, the general's guard, the convoy, and finally the rear guard.
In General Harrison's day he was United States Indian agent at Fort Wayne, but was killed in the massacre of Fort Dearborn, in 1812, by the faithless bands of Potawatomi under the chief Blackbird. The retreat of St. Clair's army was very precipitate. "It was, in fact, a flight."
I was facing Miss Lansing, who had taken her hand from my shoulder. "Are you not ashamed of yourself?" I said; and I remember I thought how my mother would have spoken to them. "Miss Lansing's good nature" I went on slowly, "Miss Macy's kindness Miss Bentley's independence and Miss St. Clair's good breeding!"

A soldier, driving an ox-team behind us, began to sing that melancholy ballad called "St. Clair's Defeat." The entire company joined in the chorus, bewailing the late disaster at Ticonderoga, till Jack Mount, nigh frantic with disgust, leaped up into the cart and bawled out: "If you must sing, damn you, I'll give something that rings!"
They built Fort Greenville, eighty miles north of Cincinnati, and there spent the winter, while, on St. Clair's fatal battle-field, an advance detachment built a post which they hopefully christened Fort Recovery.
His band invited Tecumseh's band to unite with them at Greenville, in western Ohio where General Saint Clair's Fort Jefferson and General Wayne's Fort Greenville had been built. Then, almost immediately, or in the fall of 1805, "Loud Voice" arose as the Prophet. While smoking his pipe in his cabin he fell backward in a pretended trance, and lay as if dead. But before he was buried, he recovered.
Clair's proclamation of March 24, 1794, ordering General Wayne to restore and garrison the place, for the purpose of preventing the proposed expedition from passing down the river, ended the conspiracy, and Genet left the country.
