The correct answer is B. Two messengers, covered with dust, come to bid me fly; but here I mean to wait for him. Whether it will reach its destination or fall into the hands of British soldiery, events must determine.<br /><br />This statement shows that the author, Dolley Madison, felt fearless in the face of danger. Despite the urgent pleas from the messengers for her to flee, she chose to stay and wait for her husband, Mr. Madison. She acknowledges the potential risks and uncertainties, but she remains determined to stay and face the situation head-on. This demonstrates her courage and resilience in the face of adversity.
