Hennion, and now he has topped them all by signing deeds within the hour that gives to the girl both Greenwood and Boxely." Janice looked up at her father. "'T is like him," she said, chokingly. "Oh, General Washington, will you not be merciful to him?" "What is done must depend wholly on General Brereton's report, Miss Janice," answered Washington, gravely. "Oh, not on him!" besought the girl.
"Now the Committee has sent orders to each county committee to make out a list of those we think ought to be arrested, and a meeting 's to be held this afternoon to act on it. Old Hennion he came to me last night and said he wanted your name put on, and he'd vote to recommend that you be taken to Connecticut and held in prison there along with the Governor." "Pox the old villain!" fumed Mr.
And 't will strip Hennion of his acres as well, I take it. Wilt deliberately marry her to a penniless man?" "Boxely never was his, and I doubt not his scamp of a father will find some way to save it to him. I'll not tarry longer, for 't is ill news ye have just broke to me, and I must carry it to Matilda.
