When Duncan (British soldier) arrives at General Webb's headquarter's and inquires about the whereabouts of Colonel Munro's daughters, what clue reveals that they are in the old Dutch colony of New Netherland? Hint: Webb uses just one word.

Okay, I've gone through the first two chapters of the novel twice now...... either I'm not seeing clearly here, or you are possibly referring to the film?

Duncan leaves the General's headquarters to bring the girls to their father in Chapter One. Webb is standing in the threshhold of his office watching them leave. Webb doesn't use a word....

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! I KNEW I WAS NOT GOING CRAZY!!!!!!
