It's horse-sense, Carpenter, that counts for success in life as in a race." Carpenter nodded again. "But it's different with Col. Troup's entry. Ever been to Lenox?" he asked suddenly. Carpenter shook his head. "Don't know anybody there?" asked Travis. "I thought so just what I want." He went on indifferently, but Carpenter saw that he was measuring his words and noting their effect upon himself.
He dived into the basket as he heard Troup's familiar whistle, and thrust the pieces into a breast pocket. In a moment he remembered that Betsey's head would be pillowed upon that pocket at five in the afternoon, and he hastily extracted the mutilated letter, and applied a match to it, consigning women to perdition. Troup sniffed as he entered the room. "Violets and burnt paper," remarked he.
"Very well," he said, "have your own way and be happy. I'll stand by you if the citadel falls." Hamilton's eyes softened, and he shook Troup's hands heartily. But as soon as he was alone, he sent the manuscript to the printer. M.L. Davis, the authentic biographer of Burr, tells this interesting anecdote concerning the Adams pamphlet:
Mcintosh's scalp was suspended from a pole in the public square of Ocfuskee, and young and old danced around it with shouts of joy. General Mcintosh was a cousin of Governor Troup, being the son of Governor Troup's uncle, Captain William Mcintosh, who was frequently on the Chattahoochee before the breaking-out of the Revolution.
Oh, my Lord, told you so Troup's mare's up an' dancin' like a swamp rabbit by moonlight.
He made no attempt to laugh off Troup's attack, Troup watched him until he turned pale himself. "You have met her," he said abruptly. Hamilton rose and pushed back his chair. "I promise you one thing," he said: "that if I happen to lose my nethermost to Mrs. Croix, the world shall never be the wiser. That I explicitly promise you.
