Excerpt
THE broad windows of the British Coffee House reflected with a golden blaze the rays of the wintry-red afternoon sun, which touched the royal banner of His Most Gracious Majesty, King George the Third, hanging over the door, and glinted on the bayonets of the two giant Grenadiers who stood, statue-like, at either side of the threshold. The bells of an occasional sledge tinkled on the crisp air, and the heavy shoes of the good Bostonians, soberly clad and with faces made stern by years of repression, creaked on the hard-trodden snow.
