At times they startle visitors by coming in from work in mountain-and-barn clothes and appearing for dinner a few minutes later in formal dress...

Puritans followed shortly, anxious to turn cows into milk; and, pursued by Puritans, the cows wandered about the North End, laying out Boston's streets...
