Text
"Under the care of a Father, who for many of them was their teacher also, they were led, according to invariable custom, to a restaurant, though it was not so styled, about a mile away, where a highly respectable couple, colored people of the name of Moulden, kept a little shop for the sale of cakes, candies, ice cream, oysters, etc. Thence, after leisurely refreshing their wearied spirits with the above list of dainties, the juniors would wend their way more or less joyfully homeward."
