"Robert Greene!"
The figure halted, looked around for a moment, and then was apparently about to resume the journey when Enoch asked in a low tone:
"Is that you, Mr. Greene?"
"I know no one of that name, and if it was mine wouldn't be willing to own it to one who is afraid to show himself."
Enoch recognized the voice, and springing forward with an exclamation of joy literally hugged the vegetable-laden spy.
"Is it you, Enoch?" Greene asked in surprise. "What has happened? Have you been in danger?"
"I was discovered by a Quaker at whose house General Lafayette lodged at Barren Hill, and seized by him and a British officer in front of the City Tavern."
"But how did you escape?"
"Come with me into the bushes, for I am afraid men will be sent out on this road, since you told the patrol I was in your employ."
When the two were screened from view of any who might chance to pass, Enoch told his story in all its details, interrupted only by low chuckles of satisfaction now and then, and exclamations of pleasurable surprise when the more important portions of his adventures were related.
