The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Life was hard then. But they look and were probably happier than most people today.
ReplyDeleteThey do look happy. And Frances Louise is cute as can be.
