Perez Morton

You deliver a speech at the funeral of Joseph Warren, calling for complete separation from Britain. Your oration is published and you become known to your enemies as "the Orator." You have an affair with your wife’s sister that becomes public. The sister is so ashamed she commits suicide. Despite the scandal
you and your wife remain married. You rise in wealth
and social status through your lifetime. However, just before you die, you lose all your money, leaving you destitute.
