His pride was deeply wounded. Gilmer looked the personification of melancholy, — though his face was not of the kind to ex- hibit fully the working of his mind. Wise, stung deeper than either — because more sensitive — made a hard strug- gle to assume an indifference he could not feel. And Adams, among them all, was the only one apparently un- moved, although he undoubtedly felt, with the keenest satisfaction, the grandeur and completeness of his victory. He sat for a little while like a statue... ; and then rising and again glancing over the House with marvelous composure, said : "I have two other petitions like that I introduced the other day — one from New York and the other from Pennsylvania — but owing to the condition in which things now stand I prefer to reserve them for a future occa- sion!" Not a word was spoken except by himself ; and there he stood, — that wonderful man, weak from age and physical infirmity, but strong as a giant in the invincibil- ity of his courage — as completely master of the battle- field as the iron-duke of England was at Waterloo.
