Now that’s the right words I tried to formulate not so long ago. Still worried about this comment, btw.
Now he said “sooner than later”, are you guys satisfied?

Ok ok so a continuation of my post a while back about Simcoe and Harry Lee. Well the reason why Simcoe and his men pretended to be Harry Lee and his men specifically was because they shared similar green uniforms. But at the same time, Simcoe and Harry respected each other and at one point, Harry actually sent him a letter with an exclamation mark in it which I think is a big deal.
Anyway, Simcoe and his men got a kick out of pretending to be Americans and when people were like “so why are those guys in your unit dressed in red?” they were like “oh, yeah those are our French officers” AND THESE CIVILIANS DIDN’T KNOW ANY BETTER SO THEY ACCEPTED IT.
My personal favorite was when these two guys approached Simcoe who was posing as Harry Lee and the one guy was like “oh yeah, my son is in your unit!” and gossiped about the American movements. Then when they were like “so, what do you think Clinton will do?”, Simcoe’s dramatic ass replied something along the lines of “you may ask him yourself, for we are the British”. LIKE GOD, I LOVE THIS MAN.
// The past two days, I have been drowning in Simcoe facts. I love my son. My beautiful son who, when mistaken for a Continental soldier/officer, he was like “oh yeah, I’m *giggle* Major Harry Lee and *giggle* these are my troops”. Not once, but twice. Then he wrote to Harry Lee in regards to Andre’s capture. Someone is in love.
