Another legend that dies hard is that Arnold's wife, lovely Peggy Shippen of the "heavenly bosom," was an innocent bystander. Author Flexner shows that she was bosom-deep in the mess from the start, and egged her husband on.

As much a woman as a conspirator, she added pretty feminine requests for silks and satins to her husband's treasonable letters to Major John André.
