"Then, sir," said Washington, smiling slightly, "as I wish to keep an eye on you until you have proved yourself, I shall for the present find employment for you in my own family." Thus a twelve-month passed without Philemon Hennion, John Evatt, Charles Fownes, Parson McClave, or any other lover so much as once darkening the doors of Greenwood.
For a second he held this position, then as suddenly relaxing himself, he turned and eyed the giver of the order. "So ho I my man. It seems ye have carried Brown Bess," said the traveller, giving the slang term for the musket. Flushed in face, Fownes wheeled on the man hotly, while the whole room waited his reply in silence. "Thou liest!" he asserted.
Janice longed to ask more questions, but did not dare, and as the bottle passed, the conversation became general, permitting her to become a listener. When the moment came for the ladies to withdraw, she followed her mother. "Oh, mommy!" she said the instant she could, "didst recognise Charles?" "Charles! What Charles?" "Charles Fownes our bond-servant Colonel Brereton." "Nonsense, child!
"One man!" protested the dragoon. "Think you one man could do that?" "Janice insists that there was but Brereton but Charles Fownes, now a rebel colonel." "You may lay ter it there was mor'n " Then Philemon wavered, for the sight of the flushed, guilty look on the girl's face gave a new bent to his thoughts.

Sukey promptly relented, but the chill in Fownes' fingers was clearly not unendurable, for in a moment he came to the table, and putting his hand over that of Janice, which held the pestle, he said: "Let me do the crushing. 'T is too hard work for you." "I wish you would," Miss Meredith somewhat breathlessly replied. "My arms are almost ready to drop off."

The traveller's eyes followed the impulsive gesture, even while he, too, made a motion more instinctive than conscious, by stepping backward, as if to avoid something. This motion he checked, and said "No. Bond-servants don't wear bayonets." Again the colour sprang to Fownes' face, and his lips parted as if an angry retort were ready.
