Excerpt from Earl Percy's Dinner-Table
George's Ministry. The day was over, the gloom of night had settled on the narrow, crooked ways, lights twinkled in the taverns and coffee-houses all along the ill-paved length of King Street, when, timed to the tap of drum, the heavy tramp of the 5th Regiment was heard approaching. The tavern doors and windows filled in a moment with surprised onlookers; a group of officers poured out of the British Coffee - House to shout a rough welcome to comrades on the march, and the dusky column swept on, by the Town House, up the hill of Q\ueen Street into Tremont Street, by Dr. Caner's stone chapel, and so out upon the gray expanse of the Com mon, where a canvas city had arisen, and where the dull glow of camp-fires flickered here and there upon rows of tented streets. It was clear that Earl Percy was no play actor, and in that shadowy mass of marching men expectant Toryism had no chance to mark its idol.
