ANNIE: I'm writing an article about a person, who lived over
200 years ago during the Revolutionary War.
LIBRARIAN: Shh.
LISA: Really?
ANNIE: Yeah.
LISA: Annie.
That's great.
You know.
I think it's really important that people know about the
Revolutionary War, because that's when the United States
fought to become our own country.
Do you know that there would be no United States without
the Revolutionary War?
Also, did you know that the good guys, us, fought against
the British redcoats, the bad guys, right here in this
neighborhood?
ANNIE: Yeah.
Yeah.
Whatever Lisa Heffenbacher.
My article is going to be about this person, perhaps the
worst traitor in the Revolutionary War, Cordelia
Heffenbacher.
LISA: Heffenbacher?
That's my name.
LIBRARIAN: Shh.
LISA: And that picture looks just like me.
ANNIE: Oh.
Oh, do you not know about your ancestor Cordelia
Heffenbacher?
Yeah, she was your great, great, great, great, great,
great, great, great, great, great aunt.
And I really hate to be the one to have to tell you this,
Lisa, but she was a traitor.
Yeah, she helped out the bad guys, the British redcoats,
instead of her own friends.
LISA: My ancestor was a traitor?
ANNIE: Yep.
And now thanks to me, everyone's going
to know about it.
