Simon Carter. Yes, sir.
WASHINGTON
If you can find any way to get in touch with him--
HALE
I'll find a way, sir.
WASHINGTON
The pa.s.sword is "Liberty" used twice in your first sentence to him.
HALE
Yes, sir.
WASHINGTON
I don't know what he can do for you, but he is trustworthy and he may have some information.
HALE
I'll see him, sir.
WASHINGTON
Now, Captain, I don't want you to go yourself unless it is absolutely necessary. But I must have General Howe's plans as soon as possible.
HALE
Yes, sir. I understand. I'll see that you get them, sir.
WASHINGTON
Good! I believe you will, Captain. Good day.
HALE
Good day, sir. [_door closes_]
HULL [_coming in_]
Well, Nathan, what news?
HALE
I've got a job.
HULL
On the staff?
HALE
No. I'm afraid it's more hazardous than that.
HULL
You're lucky! A hazardous job! Say, what I wouldn't give to be in your shoes! What is it? Are you at liberty to tell?
HALE
Of course I'll tell you, William. I'm to discover General Howe's plan of action.
HULL [_whistles_]
I should say you had drawn a hazardous a.s.signment! I'd call it a labor of Hercules!
HALE
Perhaps.
HULL
How are you going about it?
HALE
There's only one sure way of doing it.
HULL
Yes--and what's that?
HALE
I'll go myself into the enemy lines.
HULL
In disguise?
HALE
Of course.
HULL
