Excerpt from St. Nicholas, Vol. 11: An Illustrated Magazine for Young Folks; Part 1., November, 1883, to April, 1884
IT was the 25th of November, 1783 - a brill iant day, clear, crisp, and invigorating, with just enough of frosty air to flush the eager cheeks and nip the inquisitive noses of every boy and girl in the excited crowd that filled the Bowery lane from Harlem to the barriers, and pressed fast upon the heels of General Knox's advance detach ment of Continental troops marching to the posi tion assigned them, near the tea-water pump. _ar. Some points the crowd was especially pushing and persistent, and Mistress Dolly Duane was decidedly uncomfortable. For little Dolly detested crowds, as, in fact, she detested everything that interfered with the comfort of a certain dainty little maiden of thirteen. And she was just on the point of ex pressing to her cousin, young Edward Livingstone, her regret that they had not staid to witness the procession from the tumble-down gate-way of the Duane country-house, near the King's Bridge road, when, out from the crowd, came the sound of a child's voice, shrill and complaining.
Keep off, you big, bad man, it said; keep off and let me pass. How dare you crowd me so, you wicked rebels?
