The Philadelphians arranged a farewell celebration for General Howe which they called the Meschianza, an elaborate pageant, said to be the most beautiful ever seen in America, after which General Howe and General Clinton had orders to take their army back to New York.
He was a jewel of a listener, and was not easily bored even when Philadelphians talked about families, or New Yorkers about bargains, or Bostonians about books.
He said this with a smile which was absolutely undecipherable, then drank their health in water which was his only drink -declined one of Wimperley's cigars, for he did not smoke and inquired quietly if he was to get his railway as well. Whereupon he was immediately assured that he would get anything he asked for. That evening the Philadelphians left in the private car.
A well-educated Philadelphian will say where is me wife for my. I have also been asked by a Philadelphian, "Where are you going at?" It would be impossible to mistake the intonation of a Philadelphian, even though you met him in the wilds of Manchuria in the depths of night. Among the most charming and delightfully cultured people I met in America were Philadelphians of old families.
The finals was more or less of a family party. It was an all-Philadelphian affair, two Philadelphians competing with 14,000 more cheering them on. Johnson was unfortunate. Saturday the match was started under a dark sky on a soft court that just suited him. I have seldom seen Johnson play so well; as always, his judgment was faultless. We divided games with service with monotonous regularity.
The young Philadelphians, in the excitement of battle and of a sudden and triumphant reversal of fortune, were likely to expose themselves rashly, and the advice of the forest veterans was timely. Captain Colden saw that it was taken, although two more of his men were slain as they advanced and several were wounded. But the issue was no longer doubtful.
Not content with feasting in their own homes, the colonial Philadelphians were continually banqueting at the numerous taverns, from the Coach and Horses, opposite the State House, down to the Penny Pot Inn close by the river.
The occasion commemorated in the following verses one of those festive meetings with which tender-hearted Philadelphians are wont to brace themselves up for sorrowful partings called forth expressions of deep regret and cordial good wishes, in which many of our readers, we doubt not, will readily join: If from my quivering lips in vain The faltering accents strove to flow, It was because my heart's deep pain Bade tears be swift and utterance slow; For in that moment rose the ghosts Of pleasant hours in bygone years; And your kind faces, O my hosts!
It stands in the Rue des Fosses-Saint Germain, now Rue de l'Ancienne Comedie. Several American students, Bostonians and Philadelphians, myself among the number, used to breakfast at this cafe every morning. I have no doubt that I met various celebrities there, but I recall only one name which is likely to be known to most or many of my readers.
When Fadus was informed of this procedure, it provoked him very much that they had not left the determination of the matter to him, if they thought that the Philadelphians had done them any wrong, but had rashly taken up arms against them.
