"Tallmadge broke our vow of silence this one time only to defend his enemy in the war." "For if we spies don't stand for one another, who will?" "Of course, the British held André as a hero and quickly forgot about Benedict Arnold." "None of his future endeavors came to fruition, and he died in his bed in 1801."
