I mention this fact as an interest- ing testimony to the respect for the Sabbatli that was at that time entertained by a very mixed body of sightseers. Of course, on a week-day no police would have been strong enough to repress the shout- ing. The General was to stop to make a friendly visit at my father's house in Quincy, and it was an inter- esting moment when we saw his carriage driven down the avenue. " I have been at this house before, " said Lafayette, after he had greeted us all with his... tender French cordiality. "I was here during the Revolu- tionary "War, as the guest of your great-grandfather. " And there happened to be a daughter of his former host there present, my great-aunt Storer, then in her ninetieth year. She was much overcome on again meeting Lafayette, and declared that his pres- ence took her back among the trials and sufferings of the Revolution. During this visit my sister has noted, in a journal which she has kindly lent me, that Washington Lafayette talked more than ever before and appeared to better advantage.
