The fine engraver who has executed so many of Leslie's works, Danforth, is a stanch American; he would be a man after your heart; he admires you for that very quality. I must close in great haste." The transatlantic traveller did not depart on schedule time in 1832, as we find from another letter written to Mr. Cooper on October 5:
"Do you see what it says?" went on Leslie, excitedly. But Phyllis was puckering her brows in an effort of memory. "There's some mistake here, I guess," she remarked at length, "for now I recall that Mrs. Danforth said his name was Mr. Horatio Gaines!" Leslie dropped the envelop back in the book, the picture of disappointment.
The old man was absent from England when Horace Danforth left it, and it was not till his return that full satisfaction on the subject had been obtained, as it was judged unwise by Mr. Decker to awaken public attention by investigations which his uncle's return would probably render unnecessary.
Ensign Noyes was a noted surveyor, but not so famous as Jonathan Danforth, whose name is often mentioned in the General Court records, in connection with the laying out of lands and towns, and many of whose plans are still preserved among the Archives in the State House.

"He has come to ask me for you, Lily," said Mr. Danforth, glowing with satisfaction.
He tore the note which he received into small pieces, and left Duval without another word. Sheltered by the darkness, Mr. Danforth, who had tracked the steps of Dawkins, had been an unseen witness of this whole transaction. George Dawkins resumed his duties the next morning as usual.

He knew that the man was well able to annoy him, and he would not on any account have had the affair disclosed to his father or Mr. Danforth. As Trinity clock struck eight, he entered a low bar-room in the neighborhood of the docks.
