noon
`` I wanted you to come to my home with me ; but I suppose that is too much to ask , for of course you intend to be on the street , in order to know what is going on . '' `` I 'll go with you willingly , Chris . I have seen enough of the work which may be done on the street , until the time comes when I can be of some assistance . '' An hour later the boys were at Chris Gore 's home , and there they remained until noon , when it was learned that a formal town meeting was appointed for three o'clock in the afternoon . During the informal meeting Master Samuel Adams had made an address to the people , in which he recommended that a committee be sent to the Governor , to tell him once more that peace could not be maintained while the British soldiers virtually held possession of the city , and of this committee was Master Samuel Adams . At night , when Chris Gore 's father came home , he reported all the general public knew regarding the condition of affairs . Faneuil Hall had proven too small for the throng of citizens assembled at the hour set , and it became necessary to adjourn to the Old South Meeting-house .
