"Macdonald's professional, family, constituency, and parliamentary responsibilities produced intolerable pressures. From time to time throughout his life he would break away – retreat from familiar scenes, sometimes alone, sometimes with a friend, and drink heavily.

During this period, for example – the exact date is not known – Macdonald and another young lawyer, John Rose of Montreal, made a strange visit to the United States. Years later Lord Carnarvon described the incident:

"When quite a young man [Sir John A. Macdonald] and Sir John Rose, and a third, whose name I forget, went into the States and wandered about as strolling musicians. Macdonald played some rude instrument, Rose enacted the part of a bear and danced, and the third did something else. To the great amusement of themselves and everyone else, they collected pence by their performance in wayside taverns, etc.
