Eli stepped out the front door and in a deep bass voice said "Tiffany! get behind me!" The young girl blanched at the tone she had never heard from her uncle. She shuddered and covering her mouth with her hands dropped back behind Eli and right into Lilly's arms. He turned and said "We will deal with you later." Then he turned to Mickey, hoping that Lilly would make Tiffany watch. "get down off of that horse!" When Mickey complied trembling Eli took the horse and tied it to the porch rail. "You young sir are a thief! The duchess could have you hung for this if you were a bit older. As it is you might be spared, but not with out pain. he dragged the boy over to the rail. "Hold on tight!" He pulled the boys trousers down and picked up a buggy whip. "this will hurt but it might save your life" He striped the boys thighs until they were crimson and tears ran down his cheeks. "Now pull up your pants." The boys face was as red as his legs. Eli wrote a message to the Duchesses groom and handed it to the boy. "Take this horse back where you got it and give this note to the groom, then go home, and don't come back here again!" then he turned to the women. "What ever shall we do with you young lady?"
