From a farm at Braintree had come one of the famous Adamses and his not less notable wife, who had admirably filled the position of the first lady of the land. Yet the odd, narrow, crooked streets of a hundred years before were running everywhere, occasionally broadened and straightened.
It is doubtful if any of the leading men as yet agreed with the Adamses, except Dr. Franklin, who had just returned from England after his ten years' stay there, and knew very well how little hope was to be placed in conciliatory measures.
When my mother was ill, he used to bring her thirty dollars at a time. Every two months she had to go down to Malvern when she was well and carry an empty trunk and when she would come back it would be full. My mother was wet-nurse to the Adamses and they thought the world and all of her. Marriage "They had a good opinion of their house servants.
"No; nor the Eves of Cambridge, nor the Serpents of Eton, nor the Angels of Harrow." "I suppose " began Bones. "Nor are my relations on speaking terms with them. They don't know the Adamses, nor the Cains, nor the Abels, nor the Moseses, nor the Noahs." "That's all I wanted to know, sir," said an injured Bones. "There's no need to peeve, sir."

He reflected that it might well seem strange yea, and intolerable to many that this comedian of the country store, this crude lawyer and politician, should inherit the seat dignified by Washington and the Adamses. And yet Stephen believed. For to him had been vouchsafed the glimpse beyond. That was a dark winter that followed, the darkest in our history.
Our own College in the time of the Revolution was a manifest power on the side of liberty, the political as well as academic mother of Otis and the Adamses. In 1768, "when the patronage of American manufactures was the test of patriotism," the Senior Class voted unanimously to take their degrees apparelled in the coarse cloths of American manufacture.
The two Adamses, Gadsden, Franklin, Otis, Patrick Henry, Livingstone of New York, John Hancock, the wealthy and splendid Boston merchant, Hawley of Connecticut, and Washington, meditating upon the liberties of his country in the retirement of Mount Vernon, and unconsciously preparing himself to lead her armies through the Revolution there has never been a company of better men active at one time in any country.
