Gerry, with his head full of the Shays rebellion and the "Know Ye" measures of the neighbouring state, thought the people could not be trusted. "The people do not want virtue," said he, "but are the dupes of pretended patriots." Roger Sherman took a similar view, and was supported by Martin, Rutledge, and both the Pinckneys; but the sounder opinion prevailed.
If the Mascarenes hadn't been fools they'd have seen that a poor man with kick in him and the Pinckneys always had that was as good as a rich man, and those two might have got married." "No," said Phyl, "they never could have got married, he had to die. He was killed, you know, at the beginning of the war." "You're a fatalist." "Well, things happen."
I claim part of the honor, I partake in the pride, of her great names. I claim them for countrymen, one and all, the Laurenses, the Rutledges, the Pinckneys, the Sumpters, the Marions, Americans all, whose fame is no more to be hemmed in by State lines, than their talents and patriotism were capable of being circumscribed within the same narrow limits.

Dubbadoe and her pretty daughter, when they drive in from Milton to see you, of the ice-cream you ate last night at the summer party which the Bellinghams gave the Pinckneys, of the hard-tack and boiled dog which dear John is now digesting in front of Petersburg, the real business, I say, is to supply the human frame with carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen in organized forms.
Franklin, James Wilson, George Wythe, the Pinckneys, Hugh Williamson to mention but a few." "They are not a bad lot," admitted Morris, "if they had all seen more of the world and less of their native or adopted State all this State patriotism makes me sick.
No glare of military glory surrounded him; he had not the admired gift of eloquence; he was opposed by wealth and fashion, by the Church and the press, by most of the famous men of his day, by Jay, Marshall, the Pinckneys, Knox, King, and Adams; he had to encounter the vehement genius of Hamilton and the prestige of Washington; he was not in a position for direct action upon the people; he never went beyond the line of his duty, and, from 1776 to his inaugural address, he did not publish a word which was calculated to excite lively, popular interest; yet, in spite of all and against all, he won.
One thing was now made certain, that the vast influence of Rutledge and the Pinckneys would be thrown unreservedly in behalf of the new Constitution. "I will confess," said Cotesworth Pinckney, "that I had prejudices against the eastern states before I came here, but I have found them as liberal and candid as any men whatever."
Juliet had been in love with one of the Pinckneys and this message was from a Pinckney and one day, perhaps, most likely a fine spring day like to-day, Pinckney had given the negro girl a message to give to Juliet, and the lovers and the message and the bright spring day had vanished utterly and forever leaving only Prue. The gate would no doubt be the garden gate.
We aren't your flesh and blood, and though the Pinckneys aren't much more to you, still, one drop of blood makes all the difference in the world. Then again, you're a cut above us; we're quite simple people, but the Berknowles were always in the Castle set and a long chalk above the Hennesseys.
