In the place Hungarians call Hollywood on the Danube, the "Black Pearl" outdraws even the "Italian Stallion...
Though these Tories had money, they weren't a majority in the city; historian S.B. Sutton estimates they comprised at best 10 per cent of the population and that many of the rest were among the colony's most rabid patriots.
