Nicholson, my old fellow-student at Magdalene, and we played three or four things upon the violin and basse, and so parted, and I to my office till night, and there came Mr. Shepley and Creed in order to settling some accounts of my Lord to-night, and so to bed. 27th. Up early, not quite rid of my pain. I took more physique, and so made myself ready to go forth.
It was so still and quiet every word the youth phrased was as clear as his fresh young voice. "Tiens it is Mathieu he is singing Les Oreillers!" cried Monsieur Paul, with an accent of pride in his own tone. The young voice sang on: "J'arrive en ce pays De Basse Normandie, Vous dire une chanson, S'il plait la compagnie!" "It is an old Norman bridal song," Monsieur Paul went on, lowering his voice.
At the peace of Ruel, in 1649, the Duke de Bouillon had demanded "his re-establishment in Sedan, or if the Queen preferred to reimburse him for it at an estimated price, with the possessions promised and due to his house; for himself, the government of Auvergne; for his brother that of Haute and Basse Alsace, with that of Philipsbourg and the command of all the armies of Germany."
In 1621 a number of extensive grants were made to persons thus engaging themselves to take settlers to Virginia. To Arthur Swain and Nathaniel Basse were given 5,000 acres for undertaking to transport one hundred persons. Five thousand acres was also given Rowland Truelove "and divers other patentees." Similar tracts were given to John Crowe, Edward Ryder, Captain Simon Leeke and others.
His left flank was covered by the shore. Any attempt to enfilade his front by passing along the other flank was met by the broadsides of the six or eight ships drawn up en potence to the rear. The front commanded the approaches to Basse Terre. To attack him in the rear, from the northwest, was forbidden by the trade-wind.
Then, led by Captain Challoner with great dash and determination, they pushed on rapidly through the eastern outskirts of the village, seized the cemetery, and there divided. One platoon joined hands with the 7th Gloucesters, whose successful attack from the west had put them in possession of the joint hamlets of Lempire and Basse Boulogne.
In this instance M. de Fontanges did not accompany him to Basse Terre, but bade him adieu at his own door.
The moon threw its faint silver light round about in the little room. With a sweet wonder Soelver gazed upon the prayer stool and the brown rosary without its cross." I may pass briefly over the remainder. In the first place Soelver was given his liberty and he went back to his castle. The death of Sten Basse occurred soon after.
So it is at Bordeaux and Toulouse; so it is at Beauvais, where the small but precious fragment of early work, which looks like an excrescence against the gigantic transept the Basse Oeuvre, as it is locally called is really the ancient nave . So it is in a certain sense at Limoges, where a gap intervenes between the finished choir and transept and the western tower of the original design.
The heirs of Lawne were to be protected and the Company allowed five years to bring the settlement up to strength. A little later Nathaniel Basse went on to establish a plantation known for a time as "Basse's Choyce." Located on the south side of the James River above Nansemond, this plantation took its name from the Indians of the locality.
