'Taxation without representation is tyranny.' So they felt and said, and as such resisted it." "And I'm proud of them for doing so!" he exclaimed, his eyes sparkling.
"Now, what other revolutionary places are to be seen in Philadelphia, mamma ?" "There is Christ Church, where Washington, Franklin, members of Congress, and officers of the Continental army used to worship, with its graveyard where Franklin and his wife Deborah lie buried.

"Carpenter's Hall too, where the first Continental Congress met, and Loxley House, where Lydia Darrah lived in Revolutionary times.

"I think she showed herself a grand woman; don't you, mamma ?" "I do, indeed," replied his mother.
