Washington dismissed Lee from the battlefield with a few choice words.

Y'know, as absolutely courtly as Washington usually was, I've always had a hunch that he could raise three-cornered h*** with someone and not even raise his voice.

I should imagine that Mister Lee's ears were burning for a month after those "few choice words".

It was the end of Charles Lee’s military career. After Monmouth, he pretty much disappears from the history books.
