In this neighborhood was built the first Protestant Episcopal Church in the State, and here worshipped the Woods, Dunbars, MacGruders, Shields, Greens, and others composing the settlement. The descendants of these families still remain in that neighborhood, where anterior to the late war was accumulated great wealth.
"I can invite the Dunbars, the Connors and the Sutherlands over for a dance, and you can arrange for a kangaroo-hunt the following day. That is the usual thing when special visitors come, isn't it?" "Yes," he moodily replied, "that about exhausts our programme. Nothing very exciting in that.
The double Dunbar was still essential to us, though the last of the male Dunbars was dead and buried under the chancel of Lisford Church. The old name was the legitimate stamp of our dignity as one of the oldest Anglo-Indian banking firms in the city of London. "My new life was smooth enough, and there was so much business to be got through, so much responsibility vested in my hands for Mr.
"Then you refuse, sir?" "Well, I'd rather not." "Will you get word to them, Mr. Tucker?" asked Philip, turning to him. "I hain't got time," answered Mr. Tucker, who feared that the Dunbars would come for Philip and release him in the course of the evening. Philip was nonplused. Always considerate of the feelings of others, he was unwilling that his friends should suffer anxiety on his account.
Besides, he crossed his heart that he didn't know who put it there. The Dunbars aren't rich. Miss Truesdale can't afford it. Even Mrs. Grinnell couldn't do it. Judge Abbott has lots of money, but folks have to work for what they get out of him, and old Skinflint is so stingy that he borrows the city papers so's he won't have to buy them himself. Hec Abbott told me so.
In conception, in design, and in execution the Dunbars' garden was something apart. Visitors were taken 'round to the back street to get a glimpse of the Dunbars' cottage and garden. The garden was in two sections.
They were men of good character, and were carefully selected for their military qualities.... Besides this military band, others among the Mackays, the Dunbars, the Baillies, and the Cuthberts applied for large tracts of land in Georgia which they occupied with their own servants. Many of them went over in person and settled in the province."
But if you would allow me I should greatly like to have the pleasure of bringing Mrs. Duff to see your beautiful garden." Mr. Duff was assured that the Dunbars would have the greatest pleasure in receiving Mrs. Duff. "Do bring her," said Barry, "and we can have a little music, too. She is musical, I know. I hear her sing in church." "Music! Why, she loves it.
Indeed, with the single exception of Judge Hepburn's garden, which was quite an elaborate affair, and which was said to have cost the Judge a "pile of money," there was none to compare with it in the village of Wapiti. Any garden on that bare, wind-swept prairie meant toil and infinite pains, but a garden like that of the Dunbars represented in addition something of genius.
But I guess he butts in, all right." "Oh, ay! he butts in," agreed Innes, "but I'm no so sure that that's no a part of his job, too." The Dunbars lived in a cottage on a back street, which had the distinction of being the only home on the street which possessed the adornment of a garden. A unique garden it was, too.
