In obedience to the commands of his superior, an officer, with a small party, was sent to the cottage to conduct Henry Wharton to the place directed; and the gentleman who was intrusted with the execution of the order was charged with a letter from Dunwoodie to his friend, containing the most cheering assurances of his safety, as well as the strongest pledges of his own unceasing exertions in his favor.
Engedelmeskedve a fensőbb parancsnak, egy tisztet s néhány katonát küldött Whartonékhoz, hogy kísérjék Henry Whartont a megadott helyre; a tiszt egy levelet is vitt, melyben Dunwoodie igen derűs hangon biztatta barátját és őszintén megfogadta, hogy mindent el fog követni az érdekében.
