Everett T. Tomlinson, The Rider of the Black Horse — Chapter 7 (1904)

“ The elder woman greeted him with a smile that warmed his heart; but Hannah, who, in the light of the morning, he now saw was certainly a most attractive girl, looked at him and laughed.
"Well, Sir Lazy Bones, I hope you are well this fine day."
"Hannah!" said her mother reprovingly, as she perceived that Robert was confused by the unexpected salutation. "You must not mind her," she added. "She has been spoiled by her father and brothers. She is the only girl in the family."
"I think I 'll go out and see how my horse is," said Robert. ”

“ Robert followed without a word, but as they approached the place he was surprised when he was led directly past the barn into the woods beyond.
"It's safer," explained the girl quietly. "We haven't a horse left on the place—thanks to the Thirteen, or some other equally good men. If we put your horse out in the woods, it may be that he won't be found, if we chance to have any other visitors to-night." ”

“ I rather think the redcoats won't sail past them right away."
"Hannah," said her mother warningly, "you are talking too much."
"I know it. That's what my mother always says to me when I go to see any of the neighbors," she explained to Robert, as Mrs. Nott left the house for a moment. "‘Don't tell all you know, Hannah,' is the last word I hear." ”

“ Your statement is very plain."
"Hannah," said the woman, who, Robert was convinced, must be the girl's mother, "you'd better get our friend something to eat."
"I would not put you to that trouble," began Robert. "I"—
"Oh, you need not try to be too polite. Mother knows that every man is always hungry, and the first thing to do is to feed him. And I agree with her, for I have n't lived with four brothers, to say nothing of father, all these years without finding out that she's right," laughed Hannah. ”

“ Your horse could never make it. Bring him with you and stay with us to-night. It will be safer for you to go on in the daytime anyway, and you 'll do better if your horse is rested."
"But I don't like to trouble you."
"It will be time enough to avoid that when you do trouble us. Come now, and Hannah and I will look after your horse, and you can get some rest yourself. If you 've been with the Thirteen, you 'll need that as much as your horse does."
For a moment Robert hesitated, and then decided to accept the offer of hospitality which was so cordially given. ”

“ They 've been trying in all sorts of ways to fool us. First they pretend they 're going to sail up the sound and attack Boston, and then they start across Jersey, or pretend to sail down the coast to Philadelphia. ”
