“With respect to Mr. Jefferson’s style, I cannot best express my opinion than by saying that it is just such a style as Betty, my cookmaid, uses in writing to her lovers … Betty is a long-sided, raw-boned, red-haired slut, and like, Mr. Jefferson always hankering to have a mob of dirty fellows about her.”

— Josiah Quincy
