Perhaps no more gallant fight against fearful odds took place during the Revolutionary War than that at Fort Griswold, Groton Heights, Conn., in 1781. The boys are real boys who were actually on the muster rolls, either at Fort Trumbull on the New London side, or of Fort Griswold on the Groton side of the Thames.
"Don't go, Reginald," begged his wife; "I haven't got a soul to talk to." "Oh, well, you can talk to yourself," said her husband, "any woman can." But he paused a moment. "Haven't those Pepper children got a good berth?" exclaimed Mrs. Griswold, unable to keep her eyes off from the small group below.
I received my first lesson in botany from a student by the name of Griswold, who is now County Judge of the County of Waukesha, Wisconsin. In the University he was often laughed at on account of his anxiety to instruct others, and his frequently saying with fine emphasis, "Imparting instruction is my greatest enjoyment."

At least she always HAD been, and she saw no reason to anticipate failure now.
With a mocking snort Griswold interrupted. Aline and Charles had entirely forgotten him. "An utter stranger!" mimicked Griswold. "Oh, yes; he's an utter stranger! You're pretty good actors, both of you; but you can't keep that up long, and you'd better stop it now." "Stop what?" asked Miss Proctor. Her tone was cold and calm, but in her eyes was a strange light.
