HI! I lied! I 'm going to try and add one last chapter before school starts.
Ch 7
General Madison turned to O'Hara after Felicity had gone out for a short stroll.
" O'Hara has Felicity come back in?" He asked.
O'Hara looked at him and shook his head.
" I thought she would have returned by now." O'Hara said.
General Madison thought to himself and remembered that she seemed over enthusiastic about going to the fort.
" I should have known." he sighed.
" Madison?" Cornwallis asked
" My daughter was for a time engaged to Tavington, I told her to break it off and she was heartbroken. She used me to get to here to see him." He said.
" Well, O'Hara go with him, we'll get your daughter back General." Cornwallis said.
" Thank you, Milord." He said.
Meanwhile
Felicity got up and looked at herself. She was only in her shift; luckily she had stopped it before they had gotten any further. She quickly slipped her dress back on and fastened it. She looked at William who was now awake.
" You're going?" He asked. After that whole' I won't ever let them take me' lecture this seemed strange.
" William, you were right, I can't stay." She said.
" But you said." He protested grabbing her hands.
" I know what I said. I'll come back as soon as I can." She said.
" Wait, here, keep it." He said handing her back her ring.
He folded her hand back over the ring.
" Does this mean we can still get married?" She asked.
He looked at her.
" What else could it mean?" He smiled.
They heard people say quick greetings and salutes outside. They only did that when a superior officer was passing.
" My father." Felicity whispered frantically.
" Slip through the back.' He whispered.
" What do I say when I get back?" She asked.
" Tell them that you are no longer involved with me now go!" He said.
She went through the back and hurried back to the mansion. She crept behind bushes and quickly checked her reflection in a puddle before she calmly walked back inside. She bumped into Cornwallis on the way back.
" Miss Madison!" He exclaimed.
" My Lord is something wrong?" She asked.
" We- Your- Your father thought you went to see Colonel Tavington, they are out looking for you right this minute." He said.
" Me? Colonel Tavington? Lord Cornwallis I can assure you that a s much as I did love him I have no intention of returning to him." She said
" I meant no offense Miss Madison." He said.
" I must go and find them before they go and start more chaos." She said.
" No I will send one of my subordinates to get them." He said.
" That would help me, thank you." She said.
For now their plan was working.
