At the head of the table the lords and lairds pledged his Lordship in claret, and sometimes champagne; the tacksmen, or demiwassals, drank port or whiskey-punch; tenants, or common husbandmen, refreshed themselves with strong beer; and below the utmost extent of the table, at the door, and sometimes without the door of the hall, you might see a multitude of Frasers, without shoes or bonnets, regaling themselves with bread and onions, with a little cheese, perhaps, and small beer.
It was the most tremendously exciting thing that the girls had ever heard of, and even the Frasers were drawn in, more particularly as the worst it could possibly do was to give that naughty, proud Leucha a fright.
The nobleman whom her relations now proposed to her was William, afterwards eleventh Lord Salton, also a Fraser, whose father was a man of great wealth and influence, although referred to by the Master of Lovat as the "representative of an unconsiderable branch of the Frasers who had settled in the lowlands of the county of Aberdeen."
Don't let's discuss Nannie's telegram when we have to make up for the silence of years! O Betty! shall I wake up?" A little later he said, "Tell me, did you care that night at the Frasers'?" I said I never remembered a time when I didn't care. "O Betty! if only you hadn't been so proud!" "Or you so horribly ununderstandable!"
Years after, some of Fraser's neighbours of French origin rallied him on his capacity for devastation as shown at this time. Pitt's use of the Highlanders in the Seven Years' War. The origin of Fraser's Highlanders. The career of Lord Lovat. Lovat's son Simon Fraser and other Frasers at Quebec. Malcolm Fraser and John Nairne, future seigneurs at Malbaie. The Highlanders and Wolfe's victory.
She had made fun of the solemn dinner that the Frasers had given to introduce them into Torso "society." "I wonder how they can live on that salary," Isabelle remarked. "One hundred and fifty a month!" "He must make something outside." After the Lanes had gone, Bessie Falkner prepared yawningly for bed, leaving her husband to shut up the house.
I shouldn't wonder if he were clever in his profession; he told me a lot about Freke's mines." What he had learned about the Pleasant Valley mines was the chief thing in the evening to Lane. He did not understand why Isabelle seemed so much more eager to know these people these Darnells and Falkners than the Frasers and the Adamses.
'This pyramid was erected by SIMON LORD FRASER of LOVAT, in honour of Lord THOMAS his Father, a Peer of Scotland, and Chief of the great and ancient Clan of the FRASERS. Being attacked for his birthright by the family of ATHOLL, then in power and favour with KING WILLIAM, yet, by the valour and fidelity of his clan, and the assistance of the CAMPBELLS, the old friends and allies of his family, he defended his birthright with such greatness and fermety of soul, and such valour and activity, that he was an honour to his name, and a good pattern to all brave Chiefs of clans.
Prosperity once more shone upon the chieftain of the Frasers; and he now restored to his home, Castle Downie, all the baronial state which must so well have accorded with that ancient structure.
The period at which the Frasers left Normandy for Scotland has been assigned to the days of Malcolm Canmore, where John, the eldest of three brothers of the house, founded the fortunes of the Frasers of Oliver Castle in Tweedale, by marrying Eupheme Sloan, heiress of Tweedale: whilst another brother settled beyond the Forth, and became possessed of the lands of Inverkeithing.
