During her continuance in the same house, at St. John s, the double attachment of the father and the son rendered her situation extremely distressing. It is true, the calmness of age de lighted to gaze respectfully on her beauty ; but the impetu osity of youth was fired to madness by the sight of her charms. [This woman must have been another Ninon de Lenclos. ] The affair soon reached the governor s ears, and the young officer was, shortly afterwards, sent on a tour of duty to De troit. This g...ave her a short respite ; but she dreaded his return, and the humiliating insults for which she might be reserved. Col. Schuyler became her protector, and endeavored to pro cure her liberty. The person who purchased her from the savages, unwilling to part with so fair a purchase, demanded a thousand livres as her ransom. But Col. Schuyler ob tained from the governor an order, in consequence of which Mrs. Howe was given up to him for four hundred livres ; 80 nor did his active goodness rest until every one of her five sons was restored to her.
