"Is there any one whom you suspect? If so, it is your duty to tell me."
"I don't take much stock in Peter Longman."
"I am afraid you are suspicious, Hugh."
"Not without cause. I have noticed some things about him that I don't like. I think he is quite capable of turning against you."
"I have never remarked anything of the sort, but I know you would not speak without cause. Tell me what you want me to do."
"Only to be on your guard. Don't trust Peter as you trust me."
"I never have. And now have you any suggestions to make?"
"You might visit this farmer who helped the Quaker arrest your brother."
"It may be a good plan. Who is the farmer?"
"His name is Ezekiel Mason."
