Ay, Ringan, you and Lawrence were right.

The Cherokees are the least of the trouble.

There's a great army come out of the West, men that you and I never saw the like of before, and they are waiting till the Cherokees have drawn the fire of the Borderers, and then they will bring hell to the Tidewater.

You and I know that there's some sort of madman in command, a man that quotes the Bible and speaks English; but madman or not, he's a great general, and woe betide Virginia if he gets among the manors.

I was sent to the hills to get news, and I've got it.
