gr't-granfer

Updated: May 6, 2025

'Twas said that my gr't-granfer had secrets, and didn't care to talk of where he came from... And where do we raise our smoke, now, parson, if I may make so bold; I mean, where do we d'Urbervilles live?" "You don't live anywhere. You are extinct as a county family." "That's bad." "Yes what the mendacious family chronicles call extinct in the male line that is, gone down gone under."

Thomas Hardy - Tess of the d'Urbervilles
