The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing: Traitor to the Nation, Volume I: The Pox Party Part 3, Chapter 17 Summary

  • Goring writes another letter to his sister, dated June 2, 1775.
  • The company has now arrived at Cambridge, which is a pretty awesome town.
  • Cambridge has mansions, gardens, trees—all inhabited by New England Rebels, so it's all safe.
  • It's fun here too, and the town is full of variety—people from different parts of New England going about their business.
  • The company is camped out in the town and waiting to do battle with General Gage, who—they hear—will march out of Boston soon to take them over.
  • The waiting is hard, so the men hope to hear from their families soon.
