And methinks it would have been quite worth while to have had a place at that board, and looked down the table at "the strong, fine face, tinged with melancholy," of Washington; and the cheery, youthful faces of Lawrence, Tilghman, Lee, Aaron Burr, Alexander Hamilton and the others of that brave and handsome company.
These young fellows do pretty well, but there's none of them can write like the colonel, in my judgment." Judge Priest appeared not to have heard him. "Ed Tilghman," he said abruptly in his high, fine voice, that seemed absurdly out of place, coming from his round frame, "you and me have lived neighbors together a good while, haven't we?
The stars stood in the sky right over her pillow, and she talked to them, and some she seemed to know, as little Vince, or little Roxy, or Master Willy Tilghman, all playmates of her childhood; but ever and anon these vanished, and the young Quaker woman was reading again from the sermons of Elias Hicks, and the words were: "Love is quietness;" "Light only can qualify the soul;" "If I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you."
I was a little girl, and so much flattered that I thought everything he did was perfect." "Ah me!" exclaimed Mrs. Tilghman, pulling the feather of her turban up, and looking as much like an old belle as possible at eighty years of age; "you danced before Lafayette with my grandson Bill.
