The sturdy citizens pouring in with their families, seeking homes; those who laid the enduring foundations of the social fabric, the laws and enterprises of necessity, pith, and moment, are the real fathers of the great Golden State.

And Franchi looked round upon his audience with a glance of gratified malice. "Even in Lucca! even in Lucca!" Malatesta clapped his hands and chuckled until he almost choked.
