noon
Sam Adams was there , James Otis , Doctor Warren , John Hancock , and ever so many more . We fired salutes , sang songs , and drank fourteen toasts . That was at ten o'clock . Just before noon we rode out to the Greyhound Tavern in Roxbury in carriages and chaises , and had a dinner of fish , roast pig , sirloin , goose , chickens and all the trimmings , topping off with plum-pudding and apple-pie , sang Dickenson 's Liberty Song , drank thirty more toasts , forty-four in all , filling our glasses with port , madeira , egg-nogg , flip , punch , and brandy . Some of us , of course , were rather jolly , but we got home all right , '' said Mr. Bushwick , laughing . `` You mean that some of you were a little weak in the legs , '' said Robert . `` Yes , and that the streets were rather crooked , '' Mr. Bushwick replied , laughing once more .
