Achilles: There’s a store close to here. You’re to buy the items on this list. Tell them where the carriage is – and they’ll see that’s it loaded. Understood?
Ratonhnhaké:ton: Yes.
Achilles: Good. You’re also going to need a new name. Your skin is fair enough that you might pass for one with Spanish or Italian blood. Better to be thought a Spaniard than a Native. And both are better still than I.
Ratonhnhaké:ton: That is not true.
Achilles: What’s TRUE and what IS aren’t always the same.
Ratonhnhaké:ton: What would you call me, then?
Achilles: Connor. Yes. That will be your name.
Happy birthday to the Assassin responsible for the Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride, aiding in both the Battle of Bunker Hill and Battle of Monmouth, saving George Washington’s life, and finding Charles Lee!
