The year was 1777. The Colon- ists had already been in rebellion two years. MOney wasn‘t worth its weight in paper. And since Molly Ogloby was an outspoken Loyalist, â€"as were many of her fellow towns- | men in Annapolisâ€"she stood chance of losing every stick and! handful of her property through confiscation if the Colonists won. “Winâ€"shah! That rabble!" Molly scoffed. Wilfred was a pacifist. He didn‘t really care who wonâ€"althOugh hisl sympathies inclined toward the! “rabble”. He didn‘t answer. The gossip up and down Prince George street, and in and out of the tav- town, a 5 afraid of his wife ever since she had inherited an estate in England. He had married a sweet, charining daughter of an inn-keeperâ€"and she turned out to be one of the richest women in town! And how great a change her wealth had made in her! Actually he wasn’t afraid of herâ€"- he was sensitive. And Molly’s nag-. ginig words and noisy pride were. daggers to his gentleness. ‘ And other townsmen would hav: been delighted with Molly's fortune â€"and would have found solace from and nightly revelry. But Wilfred Ogleby wasn’t like that. All in the world he wanted was peace, quiet, and a place in which to read and think. Consequently when he thought of the possibility of having a secret room in the home his wife insisted upon being built, his soft remon- strances ceased. At the very moment Molly was telling her friends how she made Wilfred agree with her, Wilfred was in private conference with Sir Jona- tJhan Adam, leading architect of the day. Sir Jonathan, understanding perfectly, nodded his bewigged head vigorously, as Wilfred said with more pleading than command: “Not a soul must knowâ€"particu- larly my Wife.” The home was completed early in 1781 â€" a remarkably quick job of building for those years! 0n the night of the houseâ€"warming the host disappeared â€" although few mlsS- ed him. He walked into the clothes closet off the hallway. He pushed a kuobless panel. He tiptoed up the narrow stairs of the passageway be- tween the walls to the secret room â€"-his room! It was a sparsely furnished place â€"â€"one sliim. chair, a narrow table, an oblong pallet and one candle which, when lit, cast eerie shadows on the walls. But it was Heaven hereâ€"for Hell was right below! The days of spring and summer slipped away. Tension over the Loyalist countryside increased. Mol- ly‘s voice was shriller, her temper more explosive, her words torrential. \Vilfreidl‘s disappearance; were mOl'e frequent. Sir Jonathan Adam came to din- ner. The conversation, of course, centred on the war. “I wouldn't let a Rebel in my house!” Mistress Ogleby announced. “Oh, come now, Madam. some of, our best friends have colonist sym- pathies. Sir Jonathan’s wrrds were interâ€" rupted by a pounding of the front stumbled into the d‘ningr room. His velvet brooches were spattcrcd with mud, his laces beilragglod, his face flushed, and in his eyes was the look of an animal at bay. “You've got to help me! I'veâ€"â€" I've killed a damned Loyalist at thel King's llcad. Thcrc‘ll be a mob of them after me!" “Gerald!” his s‘ster shrlckcdg “Why (lid you ccmc htl‘c after I lt'lil you I war.th no rabble sym-i patliixrrs in my house!" “l\Ioll_\'â€":.\Iolly. they'll lcill me. ‘ Where would you have me 9‘0?

Sir Jonathan suggested to VYdfrcd. “I‘ll try to help Gerald." “Ulfrcd, glad of the excuse, liter- ally dragged Molly out of the roonr and up the stairs to her bedroom. “Look!” Through the open windows the :.are of (ncoming torches and the din of many voices. The mob was coming for Gerald. “Oh! kill my brother!" Molly cried. “I've got to go back to him. They'll know I'm a Loyalistâ€"I can argue with them.” She rushed down the stairsâ€"W'il- fred at her heels. “Why, they’re gone â€"- Gerald and Sir Jonathan are gone!" Molly ex- claimed as she reached the dining- room threshold. She dashed to the lopen French windows: “Please God, ‘n let him get away The crowd had almost reached the house. Words interspersed with boots and catcalls were distinguish- able. Wilfred and Molly stared at each other. “Molly, those aren’s Loyalists af- ter Geraldâ€"they’re rebels after you! Listen what they’re saying. Come!” For the first time in years Wil- fred Oglelby issued a command to his wife. He seized the whimrper- ing woman by the arm, pulled her into the hallway. This was no time to keen his secret from a secret. Molly fainted. He tugged her, sidehoops and all into the closet, through the panel, and up the narrow stairs just as the mob began heating at the fronti door. “Down with Loyalistsâ€"down with Mistress Ogle’by,” he could hear the shouts. When Molly revived she was in the pitchlblack room, Wilfreid"s armI tight about her. She could hear the heavy breathing of two others. She stirred. Wilfred placed a hand gently over her lips to warn her not to make a sound. ‘ Bele the mob swept like a water srpout through the house, spent its fury in destruction, them whirled on 9.
