And one has only to imagine that woman dressed and "coifféed," as she might be, to conceive such a triumph as London has not witnessed for the century! And I do long for such a triumph. If my lord would only invite us here, were it but for a week! We should be asked to Goreham and the Bexsmiths'. My lady never omits to invite a great beauty.
The Indians, emboldened by their success, then issued a proclamation in the name of the king of France and their Indian allies calling upon the Acadians to arm, under pain of death for disobedience. On learning that eleven Acadians obeyed this summons, Cornwallis sent Captain Goreham of the Rangers to arrest them.
The troops that accompanied Colonel Monckton to the River St. John included several New England companies of Rangers under captains McCurdy, Brewer, Goreham and Stark, a detachment of artillery, the 2nd battalion of the Royal American Regiment and the 35th regiment of light infantry.

"Some part of the day I thought I would look up these people the Deloras." Ralph nodded and turned to his servant. "Goreham," he said, "I will have the motor in an hour. Come and dine with me, will you, Austen?" he said, turning to me. "I don't suppose you will go down to Feltham for a day or two." "I will come, with pleasure," I answered. "Where are you going to motor to?"
Sir Goreham Briggs your chief, I believe has invited me several times to Scotland Yard, and I have always meant to avail myself of his kindness. You come to me, perhaps, from him?" The Inspector shook his head. "My business, Prince," he said, "is a little more personal." Prince Maiyo raised his eyebrows. "Indeed?" he said. "Well, whatever it is, let us hear it.
