If one arrives before the close of the fisheries, salmon, fit for a royal banquet, graces the table; while even in July and August he may enjoy shad; and strange enough it seems to Philadelphians to be eating that fish at such time of year. There are in the town a number of inns, and summer guests are also made welcome and comfortable in many of the private residences.
Every soul belonging to the vessel was present in the cabin, or steerage, but this solitary man Philadelphians and all! "It can never be that Harris has dared to trifle with us," said Talcott; "and yet it does look surprisingly like it." "Quite sure, Miles, that Marble Land is an uninhabited island?" said the captain, interrogatively.
She is of the heredity from which you would expect her depravity; but Kitty Morrow, who lets herself go so recklessly, is, for all one knows, as well born and as well bred as those other Philadelphians. In my admiration of her, as a work of art, however, I must not fail of justice to the higher beauty of Mary Fairthorne's character.
Washington and his suite were entertained at a sumptuous banquet given at the City Tavern, at which the leading members of the state and city governments were present. In the evening there was a magnificent display of fireworks, such as the Philadelphians had never before seen.
He had had more fun bringing home that calf, he told me, than he'd had for weeks, and he's a wonder at having a good time." Then followed much of which was news to me an account of the painter's earlier life and successes. He was born in Paris, August 3, 1873; his father, Ridgway Knight, the distinguished painter, and his mother, who was Rebecca Morris Webster, both being Philadelphians.
Oh, if we only could get that spirit out among our people, that we can do things in Philadelphia and do them well! Arise, ye millions of Philadelphians, trust in God and man, and believe in the great opportunities that are right here not over in New York or Boston, but here for business, for everything that is worth living for on earth. There was never an opportunity greater.
Colonel Oudet, the secret chief of the Philadelphians in the French army, heartily thanked Count Vavel for his offer of assistance to overthrow Napoleon; but he also gave the count to understand that, were Bonaparte defeated, the republic would be restored to France. In this case, what would become of Vavel's cherished plans? It was after midnight.
"You do know that the invisible ones are watching you, and will punish you because you have broken your oath!" "I know of no oath!" "Woe to you if you have forgotten it. I will repeat it to you! It was in 1789, at the forest of Fontainebleau, that you appeared at the meeting of the brethren and requested to be initiated. The Philadelphians admitted you into their league and received your oath.
The fathers of the American nation were familiar figures on the streets of the city, and Philadelphians in their native city wrote their names large in American history. Philadelphia was not settled until approximately half a century later than the other early centers of the North, Plymouth, New York, Salem, Boston and Providence.
But at last, after twenty years, and when all save the oldest Philadelphians had forgotten Miss Lydia Carew, the very, very distant cousin appeared. He was quite in the prime of life, and so agreeable and unassuming that nothing could be urged against him save his patronymic, which, being Boggs, did not commend itself to the euphemists.
