Armada against England

Eight days in June (June 2-9, 1780)
Jacques Necker's private peace feelers
The lion, the fox, and the ass
On the trail of the appeasers
The Gordian knot
The plot to partition America
Mynheer Adams puts a spoke in the wheel
Jacob's bargain
The ball at Dr. Franklin's foot

The fox and the grapes
Blessed are the peacemakers
