With the exception of Wrestling Brewster and Oceanus Hopkins, all these children lived to ripe old age, a credit not alone to their hardy constitutions, but also to the care which the Plymouth women bestowed upon their households.
Jack Hopkins announced, and the others said they guessed he was. "Lucky we saw him first!" remarked Harry, "Racers are very poisonous!" "Let's go home; there might be more!", pleaded Flossie, but the boys said the snake hunt was the best fun at the picnic.
"Have you heard the news, Mr. Reginald?" she said. "I haven't heard any news this twelvemonth," he replied. "Laws, that is so like you, Mr. Reginald. The young squire is to be here next week." "Who is the young squire? I didn't know there was any squire now." "Mr. Reginald!" "A squire as I take it, Mrs. Hopkins, is a country gentleman who lives on his own property.
A great change took place in the college. All the phenomena which President Edwards has described in his account of the Northampton awakening were reproduced among the students. The excellent David Brainard, then a member of the college, visited Hopkins in his apartment, and, by a few plain and earnest words, convinced him that he was a stranger to vital Christianity.

The City Hall was destroyed, also the Custom House, the Richmond Market, the Walters Art Gallery, one of the buildings of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, with a score of killed and wounded, and the cathedral with fifty killed and wounded. The whole country was stirred to its depths by this outrage. Angry orators appeared at every street corner, and volunteers stormed the enlisting offices.
The belief was now general in the village that Gifted Hopkins and Susan Posey were either engaged or on the point of being so; and it was equally understood that, whatever might be the explanation, she and her former lover had parted company in an amicable manner. Love works very strange transformations in young women.

Dr. Hopkins, who had taken the precaution, at the commencement of hostilities, to remove his family to Great Barrington, remained himself until the year 1776, when the British took possession of the island.
