The Duke whose melancholy fate has just been chronicled was the father of Lady Sarah, spouse of Sir Peregrine Maitland, Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada. Was there any connection between these two tragical events: the trial of Robert Gourlay and the death of the Duke of Richmond? Mr. Gourlay evidently leaned to the belief that there was.
You would never have guessed me to be a Frenchwoman, if you had seen me for the first time on the occasion of my return to the rectory. The next day a small domestic event happened, which must be chronicled in this place.
But before the second one the "stump burning" came off at the Harding place and that was an occasion worthy of being chronicled. Enoch and Lot Breckenridge, with Robbie Baker, had completed all the plans for the stump burning that first training day at Bennington.
Possibly her advance in satire may arise from nothing more significant than her retreat into the past for a subject. Nevertheless, one step forward could make her an invaluable satirist of the current hour. Among Mrs. Wharton's novels are two Ethan Frome and Summer which unfold the tragedy of circumstances apparently as different as possible from those chronicled in the New York novels.
The four years of her life in the tannery house which are now briefly to be chronicled were, for her, full of happiness and peace. Though the young may sorrow, they do not often mourn. Cynthia missed her father; at times, when the winds kept her wakeful at night, she wept for him.
We cite also, and within the same term, the Duke of Saxony, the Prince of Brandenburg, and whosoever else, potentate, prince, or prelate, asserts the right of Elector to the imperial throne a right that, we find it chronicled from ancient and immemorial time, appertaineth only to the Roman people and this in vindication of our civil liberties, without derogation of the spiritual power of the Church, the Pontiff, and the Sacred College.
What was the end of Hall of Girsonfield no one has chronicled; it is not hard to imagine the purgatory of his latter years. But it is not of him but of his innocent victim that tales are still told in the Rede valley. From the night when his spirit was by treachery and violence reft from his body, there was no rest for Percival Reed.
Many neighbours shunned the poor girl, as if contaminated by the crimes which Roger had undoubtedly committed: the more elderly unmarried sisterhood, as we have chronicled already, were overjoyed at the precious opportunity: "Here was the pert vixen, whom all the young fellows so shamelessly followed, turned out, after all, a murderer's daughter; they wished her joy of her eyes, and lips, and curls, and pretty speeches: no good ever came of such naughty ways, that the men liked so."
But occasionally the suggestion was nothing more than this: 'I want something that will do so-and-so. I believe it will be a good thing, and can be done. The assistant was on his mettle, and either failed or triumphed. The results of the experiments and researches were all chronicled in a book, for the new facts, if not then required, might become serviceable at a future time.
It may be readily imagined that with a favorable wind the inhabitants are warned of his approach some time before his arrival. Happily, long before we arrived at Sofi, the village had been blessed by the death of a celebrated Faky, a holy man who would have been described as a second Isaiah were the annals of the country duly chronicled.
