"One party espouses the cause of England and has formed a regiment to fight for it."
"That we know."
"That party is now particularly incensed against you."

"Another party favors the cause of liberty and liberation."
"Yes, they are our friends."
"Well, they are very much discouraged at what has recently happened."
"Indeed? How so?"
"May I speak freely?"
"As soldier to soldier."
