Dorcas Faces War as Family Fashions a Ruse
In a crowded street Dorcas, age fourteen, endures a day shadowed by war. Her family improvises to hide a fleeing ally by disguising him as their butler while British soldiers sweep the city, seeking Americans.
Up the hill and down the dale in war time secrecy
A young Quaker girl Dorcas comforts her family as British troops advance. Her brother warns of danger while the sister and mother cry. Dorcas calmly greets a visiting officer and arranges protection to cross the street to fetch needed comforts for a relative in distress. Two soldiers accompany her.
