"When am I to be sent for?"
"The messenger is on his way. If you do as we would like you would not go."
"Why?"
"Because the governor will purchase peace for himself by having you hanged."
"Hush! there is some one even now at the door."
"Welcome, most worthy Talbot!" exclaimed Allen, when Assistant District Attorney Talbot entered. "What brings you so far from Concord?"
"A message to you, Ethan Allen."
"To me?"
"Yes, from the governor."
"A message from Gov. Wentworth is always welcome."
