I'm going home with you tonight!" Senator Thomas Benton of Missouri was used to the outbursts of his pretty 16-year-old daughter. She had not wanted to enter the Academy, the finest finishing school of Washington in the 1840's. Now he suspected her motives. He asked, "What has happened?"

It was only a few days later that Jessie found a note in the basket of fresh laundry hauled up to her window at the Academy. It said, "Isn't there some place we can talk?" She leaned out the window, She saw him standing beside the mulberry tree. He called, "Can you come down?" "No. But you can come up ... in the tree.
