"Well, of course, it is all make-believe." "Yes, it is all make-believe," he said, and walked in silence after that. The wind blew cold and they stopped in a pastry shop on Boylston Street and had a cup of tea. Becky ate little cream cakes with fluted crusts, and drank Orange Pekoe.
This gang consisted of three men, Hod Ennis, Charley Rose and a man by the name of Bullard, afterward made notorious by engineering the Boylston Bank robbery in Boston. In the absence of Lord the office was under charge of two men, old-fashioned fellows, who had grown gray in the service of the Lord estate. The bonds were all in a tin box something larger than a soap box.
In passing through Sterling and Boylston, he was saluted by the artillery companies in those respective towns, and hailed by the cordial salutations of the people, who crowded from the neighbouring country to behold the man, whom all delighted to honor. The whole population seemed to be in motion; and both old and young were eager to offer him their personal greetings.

In our senior year the higher classes competed for the Boylston prizes for English composition.
Bullard settled down in Paris. He afterward returned and planned the Boylston Bank affair in Boston.

Th: Jefferson. LETTER CXL. TO JOHN ADAMS, December 10, 1785 Paris, December 10, 1785.
