"It was he who told me about it, and he has got the order to build four more boats." "Now that looks like business, anyhow.
They took all Miss Betty's nice silverware. They took fine quilts and feather beds. That was in the fall of the year. Made them go. They walked fast in front of the cavalrymen. They took mama and my sisters. She got away from them with her girls and found her way back to papa at Lynchburg. "Colonel Radford went and took some of the slave men and his boys.
You're even writin' the real names an' tellin' how Stafford's stray-man butted in an' beat me shootin'. You knowin' this shows that him an' you has been travelin' pretty close together." For an instant Miss Radford forgot her anger. Her eyes snapped with a sudden interest. "Were you the man who hit the can five times?" she questioned, unable to conceal her eagerness.
"If you had," declared Stafford, his eyes glinting with a cold amusement, "you would have found things plum lively. The man's name is Ben Radford. He's the man I'm hirin' you to put out of business!"

The clock on the mantelpiece struck the half-hour, and Mrs. Mills's niece, suddenly alarmed, said she would not be absent for more than ten minutes, an announcement the visitor received with an incredulous shake of the head.
We will do our best to entertain Captain Radford in the meantime, and on your return I will invite that excellent minister, Master John Foxe, to leave his books and his parish for a time, and come up and perform the ceremony. Her uncle Overton must also be drawn forth from his quiet parish for a few days to assist in the ceremony."

He had a white principle but no white blood. I never knew him very much till long after freedom. "Miss Betty Radford was raising me for a house girl. I was younger than her children.
"An' now Leviatt's hangin' around over there," continued the youth. "He's claimin' to be goin' to see Ben Radford, but I reckon he's got the same kind of sickness as the rest of us." "An' you ain't sayin' a word about what she said to you," observed Miller. "She must have treated you awful gentle, seein' you won't tell."
