"They are just children," a young officer said, holding a lantern near Tony's face.  
"That may be so," the general replied gravely.  "But we mustn't underestimate the cowardly ingenuity of the enemy.  They've been known to enlist babes as runners before."  He motioned for one of the men to gather up the "runners."  "God forgive the Tory heart that would send children out to face the dangers of this night,"  the general muttered, shaking his head.

• He thinks they are members of the British army sent to spy on the Continental army.
• He thinks they are just scared kids facing the dangers of the night.
• He thinks they are silly kids out trying to find something fun to do.
