Lalu, Diengdoh-bah, Diengdoh-kylla, are prohibited from intermarriage; this is due to those branches of the clan being descended from a common ancestress. There are other instances of clans being connected with one another, such connection being called by the Khasis iateh kur. Whenever such connection exists, intermarriage is strictly prohibited, and is considered to be sang.
"I saw well, I fancy I saw the Gallery at Hammerton House and my ancestress, Lady Hammerton. It was burned, you know, and she was burned with it, trying to save her collections. I expect she condescended to give me a glimpse of them because I've inherited her mania. I'd be a collector, too, if I had the money." She laughed nervously. "You should take Ian to the East," returned Davison.
"Yes," screamed Mistress Putnam again, "your ancestress too was a noted witch. It runs in the family. Go away with you!" she cried striking apparently at something with her clenched hand. "It is her old great grandmother! See, there she is! Off! Off! She is trying to choke me!" endeavoring seemingly to unclasp invisible hands from her throat. The other "afflicted" ones joined in the tumult.
For her riding- dress was the exact copy of that worn by her pictured ancestress "Mary Elia, even to the three-cornered hat and the tiny rose fastened in the bodice which was turned back with embroidered gold revers, so that the 'lady in the vi'let velvet' appeared before him as it were, re-incarnated, and the pouting lips, sweet eyes and radiant hair were all part of the witch-glamour and mystery!
Her son, Thomas Rolfe, who was brought up in England, returned at last to Virginia and lived out his life there with his wife and children. Today no small host of Americans have for ancestress the daughter of Powhatan. In England-in-America the immediate effect of the marriage was really to procure an Indian peace outlasting Pocahontas's brief life.
Oke distinctly made herself up to look like her ancestress, dressing in garments that had a seventeenth-century look; nay, that were sometimes absolutely copied from this portrait. "You think I am like her," answered Mrs. Oke dreamily to my remark, and her eyes wandered off to that unseen something, and the faint smile dimpled her thin cheeks. "You are like her, and you know it.
Here is another, however, who, like your first ancestress, has a countess's title, and who has a right My name isn't Biberli if your lady mother at home would not be more than happy were I to inform her that the Countess von Montfort and the darling of her heart, which you are: "The name of Montfort and what goes with it," Heinz interrupted, "would surely please those at home. But the rest!
Goliath, it will be remembered, was the son of the Moabitess Orpah, the sister-in-law of David's ancestress Ruth, and her sister as well, both having been the daughters of the Moabite king Eglon. David and Goliath differed as widely as their grandams, for in contrast to Ruth, the pious, religious Jewess, Orpah had led a life of unspeakable infamy.
Answer me, I conjure you! speak openly on what dangerous scheme are you engaged? where is your father? why are you here? wherefore do you run so deadly a venture? Speak, I conjure you, Alice Lee!" "She whom you call on is at the distance of miles from this spot. What if her Genius speaks when she is absent? what if the soul of an ancestress of hers and yours were now addressing you? what if"
"But an ancestress is always feminine. Nobody ever heard of a man being an ancestress. Men are ancestors. Why, whatever are you talking about?" "Well, we were speaking, I believe, of Queen Helen's marriage." "To be sure we were! And I was telling you about the Gods, when you made that droll mistake about ancestors.
