“The New Hampshire girls who came to Lowell were descendants of the sturdy backwoodsmen who settled that State scarcely a hundred years before....

—Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)
“There are times when even the most potent governor must wink at transgression, in order to preserve the laws inviolate for the future.”
