Excerpt from For a Free Conscience

The soldiers! Don't ye hear 'em clattering on the bridge P Run, I tell ye and give the Quakers warning. There'll be bloodshed else, for old Briggs said the next time the soldiers found 'em holding a meeting they'd be pounded into jelly. Get out of my way, Pete, ye near threw me.

Oh, the Quakers, is it exclaimed Pete, scornfully, I'll help pelt 'em! They do be a scurvy lot a boldin' meetings when the justice tells 'em not, and a setting people against the Churches, he stooped for a handful of mud as he ran.
