MD3PAD 772-773

[Toby G Levy]

        Franklin tells Mason that he hopes Mason will soon be on his
feet. Mason rattles on about old battles that his mentor Bradley fought,
and Franklin attempts to show interest. Mason says that he has found
messages in the stars of great importance to Franklin's America.

        Mary looks in on Mason and tells him he's "safe."

        After Mason's death Mary returns to England with the younger
children. William and Doctor Isaac stay and become Americans. They
enlist the aid of the Commissioners of the line in burying Mason.

        The book closes with Isaac and William speaking to Mason
(perhaps at Mason's grave?).  They are glad to finally get to America
and hope to go fishing with the Indians, perhaps living amongst them.
