PRESIDENT JEFFERSON'S COURT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rumble of President John Adams's coach had hardly died away in\u003cbr\u003ethe distance on the morning of March 4,1801, when Mr. Thomas Jefferson\u003cbr\u003eentered the breakfast room of Conrad's boarding house on Capitol\u003cbr\u003eHill, where he had been living in bachelor's quarters during his\u003cbr\u003eVice-Presidency. He took his usual seat at the lower end of the table\u003cbr\u003eamong the other boarders, declining with a smile to accept the chair\u003cbr\u003eof the impulsive Mrs. Brown, who felt, in spite of her democratic\u003cbr\u003eprinciples, that on this day of all days Mr. Jefferson should have the\u003cbr\u003eplace which he had obstinately refused to occupy at the head of the\u003cbr\u003etable and near the fireplace. There were others besides the wife of the\u003cbr\u003eSenator from Kentucky who felt that Mr. Jefferson was carrying\u003cbr\u003eequality too far. But Mr. Jefferson would not take precedence over the\u003cbr\u003eCongressmen who were his fellow boarders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConrad's was conveniently near the Capitol, on the south side of the\u003cbr\u003ehill, and commanded an extensive view. The slope of the hill, which\u003cbr\u003ewas a wild tangle of verdure in summer, debouched into a wide plain\u003cbr\u003eextending to the Potomac. Through this lowland wandered a little stream,\u003cbr\u003eonce known as Goose Creek but now dignified by the name of Tiber. The\u003cbr\u003ebanks of the stream as well as of the Potomac were fringed with native\u003cbr\u003eflowering shrubs and graceful trees, in which Mr. Jefferson took great\u003cbr\u003edelight. The prospect from his drawing-room windows, indeed, quite as\u003cbr\u003emuch as anything else, attached him to Conrad's.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079797424368,"sku":"2940013840751","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013840751_p0.jpg?v=1763600131","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013840751","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
