Washington sent him Arnold, the dare-devil of the army, and Lincoln, a man of sound head, steady hand, and even temper, as a counterpoise to Arnold's over-confident and impetuous nature. Thanks to these efforts, we had created a new army on the ruins of the old.
A half-minute had passed when Sandel, over-confident, left an opening. King's eyes and right arm flashed in the same instant.
