VIRGINIAN GOVERNOR'S ENVOY 106 However, Washington was treated *' with the greatest Complaisance*' by Joncaire. During the evening the Frenchmen ** dosed themselves pretty plentifully/* wrote the sober, keen-eyed Virginian, ** and gave a License to their Tongues. They told me, That it was their absolute Design to take Possession of the Ohioy and by G — they would do it : For that although they were sensible the English could raise two Men for their one ; yet they knew, their Motions were too sl...ow and dilatory to prevent any Undertaking of theirs. * * For a true picture of this Washington (who is said to be forgotten) what one would be chosen before this: a youth from Virginia sitting before the log fire in a German *s cabin from which the French had driven its owner, on the Allegheny river; about him are sitting leering, tipsy Gauls, bragging with oaths of a conquest they were never to make ; he is dressed for a five-hundred-mile ride through a wilderness in winter, and his sober eyes rest thoughtfully upon the crack- ling logs while the oaths and boasts and smell of foreign liquor fill the hot and heavy air.
