Before Octavian leaves, Goring holds his hand and asks him what he most desires.

One of the soldiers goes forward to usher Octavian away Goring sees how quickly Octavian eyes the open gates toward Boston and thinks Octavian can practically feel Liberty in his grasp.He convinces Octavian to volunteer himself as a spy, even though Octavian's kind of wary about the whole thing (you know, he's not into the whole 24/7 lying thing).


In other words, they want Octavian to be a spy.One of the fiddlers has fallen sick, so this Cambridge guy is here to find Octavian, who they think can fill in for that sick N**** fiddler and infiltrate the British Army.You see, the Royal Army also has a band that plays music to lift up the spirits of the Brits-their band is made up of soldiers, but also some N**** fiddlers.Then this Cambridge dude tells him it s all for a good cause.He wants to know where this guy is, but Goring's suspicious and wants to protect Octavian.Well, some guy from the Cambridge Committee of Safety visited him and asked him about a N**** fiddler.It's June 19, 1775-another day, another letter to Goring's sister.
