The Littlest Rebel1935

Capt. Herbert Cary, aka 'Master Cary':
You remember how Mommy always taught you never to tell a lie?

Virginia 'Virgie' Cary:
I never have, Daddy.

Capt. Herbert Cary, aka 'Master Cary':
And Mommy's proud of you for it, but if those Yankees should come in here, you've got to tell a lie.

Virginia 'Virgie' Cary:
You want me to tell a lie?

Capt. Herbert Cary, aka 'Master Cary':
Just this once for Daddy. And in a case like this, it really isn't a lie. If they should ask you, you must tell them that I was here but I left an hour ago and you saw me cross the river. Be brave and do this for me, dear.

Virginia 'Virgie' Cary:
Daddy, would General Lee want me to tell that lie?

Capt. Herbert Cary, aka 'Master Cary':
Yes, dear.

Virginia 'Virgie' Cary:
All right, then, I'll tell a whopper!
