'I wonder, she said, 'if a single person has been really benefited by all the money Mamma has given away? Isn't it likely she has done much more harm than good? There was truth in his surmise that Alma sometimes thought with jealousy of Mrs. Frothingham's having had control of a fortune, whilst she, the only child of him who made the money, possessed nothing of her own.
Curtis returned to the same subject in 1874, in discussing Frothingham's biography of George Ripley. Some of the errors into which writers about Brook Farm had fallen he undertook to correct, to point out the real character of the association, and its effort at the improvement of society.
When Austin came home from college, and while taking him proudly with her on a round of dinners and calls, his mother naturally cast her eye about her for the pearl of women, who should become his wife. Austin, it was understood, was to go into Uncle Hubbard Frothingham's office. All the young sons and nephews and cousins in the family started there.
But are you quite sure that you are making friends in the best class that is open to you? Alma's smile died away. For a moment she recovered the face of years gone by; a look which put Harvey in mind of Mrs. Frothingham's little drawing-room at Swiss Cottage, where more than once Alma had gazed at him with a lofty coldness which concealed resentment.
She wrote from the neighbourhood of Swiss Cottage, where she had taken a flat; it was her wish, if possible, to see him 'on a matter of business', and she requested that he would make an appointment. Much wondering in what business of Mrs. Frothingham's he could be concerned, Harvey named his time, and went to pay the call.
"There was an accident, at Yellowstone they were going to meet poor Stewart and when he got in they had to tell him poor fellow! Ethel Frothingham's arm was broken, and Jo never moved Phil has taken Mrs. Carroll on to-day Billy just saw them off!" Susan sat down at the bureau, and rested her head in her hands. "I can't believe it!" she said, under her breath. "I simply CANNOT believe it!"
In one of the beams of the barn there is a hole made by a musket-ball, which was fired as they retreated. How much do you know of that march of theirs? How much have you read of the accounts that were written of it the next day? Have you ever read Bancroft's account of it? or Botta's? or Frothingham's?
Instructions for Clinton's expedition to the southward. Frothingham's "Siege," 292. The situation at Boston in the fall of 1775 presents an interesting comparison: two generals of opposing armies, each ready to welcome an attack, but each unable to deliver one. The difference between the two, and the fact which determined the outcome, was in the natures of the two men.
Frothingham's "Siege," 126, and Sabine's "Loyalists," 707. Reports vary from eighty to three hundred feet. Dearborn's account of the battle, Historical Magazine for 1864. Bancroft, v, 612. Ross's "Life of Cornwallis," quoted in Fonblanque's "Burgoyne," 159. The picturesqueness of this scene has been remarked by many writers. The best contemporary description is, of course, Burgoyne's.
Frothingham's was as exclusive and expensive a school as the most proper person could demand, and great was Sylvia's consternation when I told her that its principal was a member of the Socialist party, and made no bones about speaking in public for us. How in the world did she manage it? For one thing, I answered, she ran a good school nobody had ever been heard to deny that.
