Welland hastened to add, "your great-grandfather's money difficulties were private losses at cards, or signing a note for somebody I never quite knew, because Mamma would never speak of it. But she was brought up in the country because her mother had to leave New York after the disgrace, whatever it was: they lived up the Hudson alone, winter and summer, till Mamma was sixteen.
Barneveld, who turned his eyes, as much as in such an inflammatory age it was possible, from subtle points of theology, and relied on his great-grandfather's motto of humility, "Nil scire tutissima fides" was perhaps nearer to the dogma of the dominant Reformed Church than he knew, although always the consistent and strenuous champion of the civil authority over Church as well as State.
I asked, longing to escape the oppressive atmosphere of the room. "Yes," answered mother, "but come in soon, it will be supper-time." I bounded away, found my slippers, and was walking down stairs on tiptoe, holding up my linsey-woolsey frock, when I saw the door of my great-grandfather's room ajar.
I will away with this cope of lead, this Ancient Authority, which is too often an Ancient Iniquity. Did it not have once a minority? was it not once a New Thought?

How could Kaiser Max revoke his Father's deed, or Kaiser Karl his Great-grandfather's?
If there is truth in man, by my great-grandfather's nose, I mean the external organ of smelling, or that part of man which stands prominent in his face and which painters say, in good jolly noses and well-proportioned faces, should comprehend a full third that is, measured downwards from the setting on of the hair. What a life of it has an author, at this pass!
"Good evening," said Ole-Luk-Oie. Hjalmar nodded, and then sprang out of bed, and turned his great-grandfather's portrait to the wall, so that it might not interrupt them as it had done yesterday.
