What guests have said
He read me Arthur Lee's charges in Lee's own words and then asked me nothing. I had waited fifty years to be asked nothing.
Silas Deane
He asked for one sentence. I gave him four. He counted.
Jonathan Trumbull
He never once told me what he thought. I have been married fifty-four years to a man who never once did not.
Abigail Adams
He asks the same last question of everyone and will not take a second sentence. It is the nearest thing to a court I have sat in since I left one.
John Jay
I asked him why he would not characterize. He asked me the next question.
James Otis
