The plea of the patroon for neutrality in the war now sweeping towards the Mohawk Valley I had heard before. So, doubtless, had those present. He waxed pathetic over the danger to his vast estate; he pointed out the conservative attitude of the great patroons and lords of the manors of Livingston, Cosby, Phillipse, Van Rensselaer, and Van Cortlandt. "What about Schuyler?" I asked.
Le sommeil est bien salutaire, pour la jeunesse." "The girl is no longer in her cradle, Francis, and it is time to rattle at the windows. As for the black minx, who should have been up and at her duty this hour, there will be a balance to settle between us. Come, Patroon: the appetite will not await the laziness of a wilful girl; we will to the table.
"My master has the report of the military board of inquiry," replied the man, steadily. "Why has the matter attracted no public attention, if a board of inquiry was appointed?" "The board was a secret one, and the report was suppressed. Few have seen it, except the late King of France and my master." "And yourself, François?" said the patroon, his manner changing. "Oh, Monsieur!" Deprecatorily.
"Many have credit on the highway, who receive none at home. But thou knowest my humor; no niece no traffic." "Alida is a dutiful and affectionate child, and I would not willingly disturb her slumbers. Here is the Patroon of Kinderhook, a man who loves English legislation as little as myself; he will be less reluctant to see an honest shilling turned into gold.

Still Ludlow thought there lingered a forced but sad smile about his handsome mouth; and the Patroon gazed at his fine features, with the admiration that one might feel for the most favored of those who were believed to administer at some supernatural shrine.
The name reminds one of the cunning Yankees, a race that would outwit Lucifer himself, if left to set the conditions to their bargain. Here is the Patroon, wishing to let in a family of the knaves among the honest Dutchmen of his manor; and we have just settled a dispute between us, on this subject, by making the lawful trial."
The man in the doorway shook his head. From the cabins near by a few men and women trooped out into the road and hastened towards us. One of the houses bore a bush, and I saw two men peering at us through the open window, pewters in hand. "Good people," said Dorothy, quietly, "the patroon sends you word of a strange smoke seen this day in the hills."
The combatants paused for a moment, gazing in mute astonishment, until the wind, dispelling the murky cloud, revealed the flaunting banner of Michael Paw, the Patroon of Communipaw.
In the year 1629, this energetic company purchased of the Indians the exclusive title to a vast territory, extending north from Cape Henlopen, on the south side of Delaware Bay, two miles in breadth and running thirty-two miles inland. The reader of the record of these days, often meets with the word Patroon, without perhaps having any very distinct idea of its significance.
