    This statue of John Glover stands between Berkeley and Clarendon Streets. But you'll also find Alexander Hamiltion, William Lloyd Garrison, Samuel Eliot Morison, Lucy Stone, and Abigail Adams along the walk.

    For now, we were happy to yield to temptation and select a few treats from the case. Choose your own or pick up one of their boxed assortments. But, be sure to include at least one mouse in the selection. They love going home with you.

    You still have time to tuck an Amazon gift certificate into that chocolate box. You can also send one by email!
