Paul Revere and John Hancock (III)

After Paul Revere was captured, the British let him go somewhere else and he had to walk all the way back to Lexington, and when he did he returned to the Hancock-Clark House, only to find Hancock right where he left him when he was supposed to leave or be killed by the English (he had been charged with treason.) Once he finally had gotten rid of Hancock, someone arrived, telling him that Hancock had left some personal papers that he should go retrieve in a trunk. Of course, when Paul gets there he finds not a little trunk, but a big, bulky one that he will have to carry out and sneak away with. In other words, Paul Revere had a very long night even after the midnight ride.
