Ka Iawbei is the primeval ancestress of the clan. She is to the Khasis what the "tribal mother" was to old Celtic and Teutonic genealogists, and we have an interesting parallel to the reverence of the Khasis for Ka Iawbei in the Celtic goddess Brigit, the tribal mother of the Brigantes. Later on, like Ka Iawbei, she was canonized, and became St. Bridget.
They had two children, a son, the idol of his father's heart, who died as a child; and a daughter, who married Richard Bache, and is the ancestress of a large family. In this happy home, and as his business prospered, Franklin found more and more time for study and self-improvement.
Those statues, those pictured saints they pulled down or covered up, had smiled on persecution. They had to have a kind of frenzied house-cleaning to get out the smell of incense. Oh, I know how they felt when they did it, as if I'd been here myself with a broom full of whitewash." "Perhaps some ancestress of yours was here, and did some sweeping," said I. But it was a mistake for me to speak.
Clifford, the Governor's wife, who was one of the younger branch, a Miss Ewes of Worthing, daughter of the Ewes who was Dean of Dorchester. Elma's been a family name for years with all the lot of Eweses, good, bad, or indifferent. Came down to them, don't you know, from that Roumanian ancestress."
"And he is particularly glad it should be precisely Rui's body, which the sacred heart should have blessed. You ask why? Hatasu is Ani's ancestress, blockhead!" "And Rui was prophet of the temple of Hatasu," added the joiner. "The priests over there are all hangers-on of the old royal house, that I know," asserted a baker. "That's no secret!" cried the cobbler.
"Aylorff my husband I paid with my blood to make free my blood my son my own " Immovable there, her arms flung up and tears so heavy that they rolled whole from her face down to the black grenadine, she was as sonorous as the tragic meter of an Alexandrian line; she was like Ruth, ancestress of heroes and progenitor of kings. "My boy my own they died for it! Mein Mann! Mein Sühn!"
Fronting each other, the imbecile child of a deathlike beauty seemed the last of the race of which she, forgotten by the world, was the ancestress. Maxime bent over to press a kiss on the boy's forehead; and a chill struck to his heart this very beauty disquieted him; his uneasiness grew in this chamber of madness, whence, it seemed to him, breathed a secret horror come from the far-off past.
I keep wondering what ancestress of Ellaline de Nesville's, or Fred Lethbridge's, is gazing out of those azure windows which are this girl's eyes. If Fred's soul, or Ellaline's, peeps from behind the clear, bright panes, it contrives to keep itself well hidden so far. But I expect anything.
No one is fonder of money than I, except, perhaps, my uncle; but you see, monsieur, we occupy the two extremes. He is fond of money to hoard it; I am fond of money to spend it. I am fond of money for the things it will buy. I should like to scatter largesse as did my fair ancestress in France. I should love a manor house in the country, and a mansion in Mayfair.
Never mind her or him either. I will take care of the two of them!" A low laugh tinkled from the ancestress: "Ha, ha! you thought the fool would be scandalized, and instead he is only the more enamored." The girl flinched but kept her face to the window: "He is not the fool." "No? We can hardly tell, when we are in love."
