Jim Bell MRS. GROVER'S DIARY (continued) A few days after I saw the picture in Grandfather's desk, our friends were assembled to spend the evening, so I reminded him of his promise to tell the story of Lafayette. He commenced at The Duke of Glouster, brother of the King of England, went to France for a visit. The officers at Mentz gave a dinner in his honour, at which he told the story of the Revolution. A youth of seventeen, belonging to one of the best families, was an interested listener. For the first time, he heard the story of the war and the full story of the struggle for liberty then in progress in the colonies across the Atlantic. His generous sympathies were aroused. He could appreciate their cause and had a desire to go to their aid and risk his life in the cause of freedom. He therefor, offered his services as a volunteer without pay, went to the colonies and sought an interview with Washington. Congress immediately commissioned him as Major General and sent him to join General Schuyler. His king and family objected to him leaving France. He had married the daughter of the Duke of -. They could not believe that he would give up the most fascinating court in the world to champion a hopeless cause in a distant land. The British Ambassador in Paris, remonstrated with the French Government. Orders were issued to detain the vessel, purchased by the Marquis and fitted out at Bourdeaux. However, Lafayette escaped the order for his arrest and, in disguise, got away and sailed for the land of freedom. He made his home with Washington and in the battle of Brandywine fought side by side with him. I saw the tall, slender youth, scarcely emerged from boyhood, with his foreign air and esprit, fighting as a volunteer, bleeding without knowing it and trying to rally his men who were retreating before the withering fire of Cornwallis' guns. A tall American aimed at him and I was just in time to knock the weapon out of his hands and save the youth. We soon became fast friends. Yes, Lafayette was wounded at Brandywine. I loved that boy. It was his picture that you saw in desk. Lafayette was reinforced by Wayne while Clinton still remained in New Y«rk. Napoleon, talking to Lafayette replied, "It was the grandest cause won by skirmishes and outposts ever known." In the evenings we had togeth- those who could not tell a story, had to sing a song. Many songs just made up to suit the ■e sung. I remember one that was called the "Colonist". On turkey fowl and fishes most frequently they dine, With gold and silver dishes their tables always shine, Wine sparkles in their glasses, They pass their time away In merriment and dances In North America. These were primitive times. The settlers were happy and contented, clearing the land, helping each other like one big family. They loved to sit in the evening, after the day's work was done and ialk of old times, or the war, or sing songs. If one began singing Barbara Allen and missed a word, to begin all over again and there would be about thirty verses. Another popular song was William Riley". An Irishman .stole an heiress and put her on the horse in front of him to make it appear that she had run away with him and not he with her. Note: The pages of the diary here were so blurred that I could make out very little of the song. Perhaps some reader cart supply the complete song. William Riley" Well rise up you, young Riley, and listen you to me, For I intend to go into some foreign countree, Leave all my precious jewels, my \ watches and my rings And go with you young Riley to where there are no kings. I never heard my Grandfather sing. I don't believe he ever did. One evening a horseman came to the gate. Grandfather met him very cordially. It was a companion that he knew in the army, Attorney General Shaw. He had ridden down from Little York, now the lovely city of Toronto, to look land that he had drawn near Grandfather's. How I listened to their chat. He had married a Miss Goslee, a cousin of Grandfather's. Shaw, says Grandfather, you married one of the proudest women in England. She was also one of the most graceful. She often danced a minuet with a glass of wine on her head never spilling a drop. Shaw said he was engaged to dine with General Brock at Government House on Saturday so he had to leave the next morning. He would send his son, George, down to look over the land. They did enjoy themselves so much. Poor Andre, you see, Goslee, his sweetheart's insanity drove him from peaceful pursuits into military life. A woman is usually at the bottom of things my dear sir. As usual, I shall give this thousand acres to George and he will come and look over it himself. TELEPHONE BINGO GET YOUR TICKETS NOW $250.00 IN PRIZES Tickets on Sale at most stores for $1.00 per card
