So it happened that in the darkness of the September evening Smith and André, the latter riding the blazed-face mare, set out for King's Ferry, where they were taken across the river. They rode a few miles south of the landing to the shore of Crom Pond and spent the night with a friend of Smith. In the morning the latter went on with André until they had passed Pine's Bridge on the Croton River.
If you " Pine's speech was ended by a sharp fit of coughing, and Silver looked at his contortions with a thin-lipped smile. "You'll kill yourself if you live this damp colonial sort of tent-life," was his observation. "Here, take a drink of water." Pine did so, and wiped his mouth with the sleeve of his rough coat.
"The main drive is down," Tally told him, "but the Cedar Branch hasn't got to the river yet. What in blazes did you want to buy that little strip this late in the day for?" "Had to take it on a deal," said Fox briefly. "Why? Is it hard driving? I've never been up there. Welton saw to all that." "It's hell. The pine's way up at the headwaters.
He fingered the strand on Young Pine's neck, making signs of friendship. "The ship was making way fast, and the shore of Cofachique was dark against the sun. Ayllon had sent his men to the other side of the ship while he talked with Young Pine, for he did not care to have them learn about the pearls. "Young Pine lifted the strand from his neck, for by Ayllon's orders he was not yet in chains.
I've already bought one this morning, a devilish pretty little mare, on Sile Pine's say-so that she was gentle, but after a slight though very trying experience, I'm afraid a bronco-buster's ideas of gentleness and mine don't exactly agree." "Why? Did she throw you?" asked Ridge. "Well, she didn't exactly throw me.
This will prevent disorders. After rain or snow, I wish you to inspect the arms, and order them, in your presence, to discharge them at a mark. The few cartridges spent in this way will be well disposed of. Colonel Putnam is marched to the mouth of Croton. Greaton's, in two or three days, moves near Pine's bridge on that river.
Again, in the succeeding winter, Colonel Greene, of the Rhode Island line, with his own and another Rhode Island regiment, who was a very distinguished officer, and had with these two regiments, in the year 1777, defeated the Hessian grenadiers under Count Donop, at Red Banks, on the Delaware, who was mortally wounded and taken prisoner, commanded on the lines in Westchester; there receded to Pine's bridge, and in this position Colonel Greene's troops were also surprised after breakfast and dispersed, the colonel himself and Major Flagg killed, and many soldiers made prisoners, besides killed and wounded.
You did for one night, as Chaldea, who was on the watch for you, told us, and then we acted." "Did Chaldea know of the trap?" "No! She knew nothing save that I" it was Silver who spoke "wanted to know about your return. She found the letter in Pine's tent, and really believed that Lady Agnes had written it, and that you had shot Pine.
The three little Jutts were suddenly thrown into a fearful state of excitement. They tried to talk all at once; but not one of them could frame a coherent sentence. It was most distressful to see. "The Exterminator!" Martha managed to jerk out, at last. "Oh, ay!" cried Jimmie Jutt. "Quick, zur! Write un down. Pine's Prompt Pain Exterminator. Warranted to cure. Please, zur, make haste."
"But what will people say of your marrying so soon after Pine's death?" "Let them say what they like and do what they like. We are going to the Colonies and will be beyond reach of slanderous tongues. Now, let us have tea, Noel, for I am hungry and thirsty, and quite tired out with trying to convince you of my earnestness." Lambert rang for the tea. "Shall we tell Jarwin that we intend to marry?"
