"Well, General Washington ought to do something," cried Sally. "He hath a kind heart, and it does seem awful to hang Clifford when he had naught to do with Fairfax's death. Doesn't thee think he will?" "Sally," spoke Peggy earnestly, "there is but one thing that can save Clifford Owen: that is for the English commander to give up Captain Lippencott.

If you can get the execution postponed, and have influence with Sir Guy Carleton, get him to turn Lippencott over to us. He is the man who should be punished." "He shall do it," she cried. "Captain Lippencott is but a refugee, and Clifford is an English officer. An officer who hath given good and honorable service to his king.
