'They are his chambers, Mr Osborne, I replied, recovering myself with an effort, and looking him in the face. 'My son had not informed me that he shared them with another. 'We are very old friends, Mr Osborne. He made no answer, but stood regarding me fixedly.
On a hill just west of the meeting-house, from which, as they looked north-west, they could see the British on Osborne's Hill, they made their line of battle, and Cornwallis, as he sat upon his horse watching them through his glass, cried out with a round army oath, "The damned rebels form well!" In what order the American line was formed we know.
At the back of the little brown book we found a faded water-color sketch of a young girl such a slim, pretty little thing, with big blue eyes and lovely, long, rippling golden hair. Paul Osborne's name was written in faded ink across the corner. We put everything back in the box.
Don't let us speak of Osborne's looks again; ten to one it was only some temporary over- fatigue, or some anxiety about Roger, or perhaps a little fit of indigestion. I was very foolish to attribute it to anything more serious, and dear papa might be displeased if he knew I had done so.
