"For my part, I think the colonies should have the right to make their own laws."

"With you as first governor."
"I care not for that. I only want to see the people get all they deserve. Look, Seth! What do you see over there?"
"It looks to me like a number of horsemen."
"Yes, and they are trying to head us off."
