In Mark Twain's book "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," Daniel Webster is actually a historical figure, a prominent American statesman and orator. In the story, Tom Sawyer tricks his friends into whitewashing a fence by convincing them it is a fun and desirable task, comparing it to a job that the famous orator had done.
