In 1776 and 1783 it was the headquarters of General Washington, and in its famous Long Room "The Father of his Country" made his farewell address, and bid adieu to his generals. Number 130 Broadway was the de Lancey home of 1730, and here was given the first inauguration ball of our nation. On this site was built "Burn's Coffee House," which teemed with interesting events.

Sanda introduced Lancey as an Englishman, on hearing which the black Pasha seized and wrung his hands, amid roars of delight, and torrents of remarks in Turkish, while he slapped him heartily on the shoulder. Then, to the amazement of Lancey, he seized him by the collar of his coat, unbuttoned it, and began to pull it off.

They're fools, if not worse, both of 'em, in my opinion; but one good turn desarves another, so now you an' I are quits. Adoo!" Hurrying out of the house, Lancey picked up a Russian cap and greatcoat as he ran, and put them on, having a vague perception that they might help to prevent his being made prisoner. He was right.

In the morning I have business to attend to. When it is done we will continue our talk. Meanwhile let me say that I see many little ways in which you can serve the Turks, if you are so minded." "Sandy Black," said Lancey, rising with a look of dignity, "you are very kind just what I would 'ave expected of you but you must clearly understand that I will serve only in works of 'umanity.

I saw him read that, though he told us all the rest without book; how all the enemy began to quarrel, and all killed one another, and the Jews had nothing to do but to pick up the spoil, and sing another psalm coming back. 'I remember now, said Felix, in a very different tone. 'It was Jehoshaphat, Lancey boy. I'll find it for you in the book of Chronicles. Did you want it for anything?

Good stuff, too, but what do you think of him? Is he on the level?" "On the level and making good," I answered confidently. "I'm not at liberty to tell much about it now, but well, the reason I came in was to find out what you could tell me about a Miss Winslow, Violet Winslow and her aunt, Mrs. Beekman de Lancey." "The Miss Winslow who is reported engaged to young Warrington?" he repeated.

It is really a pretty thing pure Gothic, and is the wonder of the country round." Of Cooper himself was said: "Thus step by step his feet were guided into the ways of peace." It was of the Protestant Episcopal church that his wife's brother, William Heathcote de Lancey a genius of goodness was bishop. A beautiful, tender, and touching tribute to the love of his life was Fenimore Cooper's will.

It advanced, and a low "Fine night, sir," apprised me that it was Lancey, who had come on deck to air himself after the culinary and other labours of the day, for he served in the capacity of cook and steward to the yacht. "I wish you'd tell me about that expedition you was speakin' off to the master this morning," said Lancey.

Eeny cried ecstatically, when the flying hands paused, "I never heard anything like that. What was it?" "Only a German waltz, you little enthusiast! Don't you play?" "A little. Rose plays too, polkas and waltzes; but bah! not like that." "Who is your teacher?" "Monsieur De Lancey. He comes from Montreal twice a week to give us lessons. But you play better than he does."

Deliberately dropping his pipe, he rose and saddled his horse, while his more excitable comrades were struggling hurriedly, and therefore slowly, with the buckles of their harness. Ali Bobo was not less cool, though more active. Lancey chanced to break his stirrup-leather in mounting.
