Froude advances a new and plausible theory of the character of Henry VIII.; few of Bancroft's American readers accept his estimate of John Jay, Sam Adams, or Dr. Johnson, or of the political character of the Virginia Colonists; and Palfrey and Arnold interpret quite diversely the influence and career of Roger Williams.
Then Bancroft's face came before her again, and remembering his kisses she flushed and grew hot from head to foot. They would be married soon right off. As George hadn't the money, her father must give what he could and they'd go East.
Such a treat, when least expected, sent the boys into an ecstatic frame of mind, and when the bugle sounded for dinner formation they rushed away to their places upon old Bancroft's Terrace as full of enthusiasm as though averaging eight and ten instead of eighteen and twenty years of age.

Before he reached it I had seen the lettering in the pavement and knew that, in spite of appearances, we had reached our destination. "This is it, Hephzy," I said. "Come."
