"Your father's the Busby Iron Works, isn't he?" The young man nodded. "And this is Mr. Caroll, one of our engineers," he said, indicating a rather rough-looking personage by his side. "Delighted to meet you both," Mr. Greene assured them. "Say, I remember your golf, Mr. Busby! You're some driver, eh? And those long putts of yours you never took three on any green that I can remember!"
This would require the concurrence of too many favorable circumstances to be calculated on with any confidence. As the position of General Greene was known, it could not be supposed that Sir William Howe would be inattentive to him.
After traversing a very pleasant country for five days, without meeting any adventure of any especial interest, they came to a river wide and deep, with precipitous banks, which is supposed to have been the Tuscaloosa, or Black Warrior. The point at which they touched this stream, upon whose banks they had already encamped, was probably near the present site of Erie, in Greene County.
Ben Jonson, and all the more or less well-taught University wits, as far as I remember, like Greene, Marlowe, and Lyly, do not show much acquaintance with Euripides, AEschylus, Sophocles, and do not often remind us of these masters.
That body expressed its high sense of the merits of Colonel Greene of Rhode Island, who had commanded in fort Mercer; of Lieutenant Colonel Smith of Maryland, who had commanded in fort Mifflin; and of Commodore Hazlewood, who commanded the galleys; and presented a sword to each of these officers, as a mark of estimation in which their services were held.
The man who had a special profession, and also wrote, was not one of these three; nor was he Tom Nash, a mere literary gentleman, pamphleteer and playwright. I do not know the name of any one of the three to whom Greene addressed the Groatsworth, though the atheistic writer of tragedies seems meant, and disgracefully meant, for Marlowe.
The ease and luxury of travel have robbed it of its poetry Ruskin was right! But it didn't look romantic to Wendell Phillips just then his chum had failed him the weather was cold, two days of hard jolting lay ahead. And "Ah! yes it is Miss Greene! and Miss Grew, and Mr. Alvord. To Greenfield? why, how fortunate!"
General Greene, accompanied by two or three attendants, left his camp near the Cheraws, rode rapidly through the country, and met General Morgan at Sherrill's Ford, on the eastern bank of the Catawba river, and directed his future movements. General Davidson had placed guards at Tuckasege, Toole's, Cowan's and Beattie's Fords.
It was hardly a story either, it was more a diatribe about his assistant." "Peter Greene?" "Ye es. This objectionable young man's name was Peter, though, if the the schoolmaster is to be believed, he isn't green. 'Sir, said he to me, 'that Peter is a bad lot no worse.
This was the critical situation of a part of Sullivan's division, and was the cause of its breaking before Greene could be brought up to support it, after which it was impossible to retrieve the fortune of the day. But had the best disposition of the troops been made at the time, which subsequent intelligence would suggest, the action could not have terminated in favor of the Americans.
