Smerdis, the grand chinchilla male brought over as a future mate for Atossa, is a royal cat. He looks as though he had run away from Bengal, but, like all of Mrs. Locke's cats, he is gentle and loving. His maternal grandparents are Silver King and Harebell, and his great-grandparents Perso and Beauty, all registered cats. On his father's side a pedigree of three generations can be traced.
In the dining-room, two long lines of portraits looked down from opposite walls. One was headed by a grim old earl, and the other by an equally grim old Pilgrim father of Mayflower fame. The two lines joined over the fireplace in the portraits of Madam Chartley's great-grandparents.

How anyone can believe that a God of Love created such a frightful scheme passes my comprehension!
Just how the feathery and billowy nights of our great-grandparents were changed into the present is too deep for explanation. Perhaps Annie left a door or window open such neglect fitting with her other heedlessness and notwithstanding this means of entry, it was found in the morning that no sprite or ooph had got in to pinch the noses of the sleepers.
Not only is he, therefore, of true American descent, but his eight great-grandparents were Americans, dating back to Thomas Ridgway, who was born in Delaware in 1713. Thus by both the French and American laws he is an American citizen.
Her great-grandparents were among the first settlers, and the Merediths have never sold the old home." "She is a pretty little thing," George said. "And she's buried down here." "I shouldn't call it exactly buried." George, with his eyes on the peacock, smiled and shrugged his shoulders. Randy smiled and his eyes, too, were on the peacock.
