Come—let me lead you in a triumphant entry!
RODNEY
I'm glad I got here in time.

My congratulations, Rodney—you've ridden to a great victory! Before another hour is passed a new nation will be born! [members cheer]

Mr. Clarke, I want to thank you. I was almost afraid you wouldn't get him here in time.
URIAH
Why, pshaw, Mr. McKeen, I give ye my word, didn't I? I had to git him here!
