DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The book follows the actions of Janice Meredith, who helps George Washington and Paul Revere during the American Revolutionary War. Following a disappointment in love, Lord Brereton assumes the name of Charles Fownes, arranges passage to the American Colonies as a bondservant, and finds a place with Squire Meredith, a wealthy New Jersey landowner. When Charles falls in love with the squire's daughter, Janice, she is sent to live with an aunt in Boston. Janice learns of the planned British troop movement to the Lexington arsenal and gives the warning that results in Paul Revere's ride. Charles reveals his true station and becomes an aide to Washington. When he is captured by the British, Janice arranges his escape and later helps him learn the disposition of the British troops at Trenton. Janice returns to her home and agrees to marry Philemon Hennion, an aristocrat of her father's choosing. Charles and some Continental troops halt the wedding and confiscate the Meredith lands. Janice flees to Philadelphia, and Charles follows her. He is arrested but is freed when the British general, Howe, recognizes Charles as his old friend, Lord Brereton. Janice and her father retire with the British to Yorktown. During the bombardment by Washington's forces, Lord Clowes binds Janice and abducts her in his coach. Charles rescues her. With peace restored, Janice and Charles meet at Mount Vernon, where they are to be married in the presence of President Washington.

"The sledges and what they hold is our prize, captivated from the British in a fair fight, yet we '11 get around that if you '11 say the right word." " And what's that? ' queried the squire. " You know as well as I what 't is. The sledges are yours, and we '11 do our prettiest to prevent the stables and cribs from catching, if you '11 but say what I want said as to Miss Janice." " I 'd see her in her grave first." " Some of you fellows start those sleighs and sledges up the road!" shouted Bagby. " Now then, have you got that officer ready?" " He ain't ready, but we is, cap," answered one of the little group about the prisoner. " Up with him, then 1" ordered Bagby. " See-saw 's the word: down goes Mercer, up goes a bloody-back." At the command, half a dozen men pulled on a rope which had been passed over the bough of a tree, and the young subaltern was swung clear of the ground. He struggled so fiercely for a moment that the cords which bound his wrists parted and he was able to clutch the rope above his head in a desperate attempt to save himself. It was useless, for instantly two rifles were levelled and two bullets sent through him; his hands relaxing, he hung limply, save for a slight muscular quiver. " If your friends, the British, come back, you can tell them that's only the beginning," Bagby told the squire. "And look out for yourself, or it's what will come to you. Now then, fellows, fall in," he called. "The line of retreat is to Somerset Court-house, and you are to guard the prisoners and the provisions if you can, but scatter if attacked in force. March!" The motley company, ...

Alas, when but one day from happiness, a Moorish zebec-" "Janice!" called a voice. The effect on the reader and her listener, both of whom were sitting on the floor, was instantaneous. Each started and sat rigidly intent for a moment; then, as the sound of approaching footsteps became audible, one girl hastily slipped a little volume under the counterpane of the bed, while the other sprang to her feet, and in a hurried, flustered way pretended to be getting something out of a tall wardrobe. Before the one who hid the book had time to rise, a woman of fifty entered the room, and after a glance, cried- "Janice Meredith! How often have I told thee that it is ungenteel for a female to repose on the floor?" "Very often, mommy," said Janice, rising meekly, meantime casting a quick glance at the bed, to see how far its smoothness had been disturbed.
