Jacqueline laid her head upon her arm and laughed. It was coming right it was coming right! and next year they would all dance at Fontenoy with light hearts, at Unity's wedding. It had begun to come right the evening of the day that she had met Ludwell Cary in the cedar wood. She wondered, slightly, at that coincidence, and then she fell again to dreaming.
I want to feel the black rage of the Rands in my heart. I want to sleep, the third night, at the Cross Roads Tavern, and I want to go on in the morning by Malplaquet I want to learn at Forrest's forge that Ludwell Cary is on the road before me. Perhaps, by the time I reach the mill and cross the ford, I will remember what it was that I did next, and how I managed to be on two roads at once."
Ludwell Cary glanced at his watch. "Early or late, the result will be the same. The county's going for him twice over!" "A damned tobacco-roller's son!" growled the other. The elder brother laughed. "'A man's a man for a' that, Fair. I dare say old Gideon rolled tobacco with all his might. As for his son, his worst enemy and I don't know that I am that couldn't deny him courage and energy."
William Fitzhugh, Philip Ludwell, William Byrd I, typical leaders of their time, by the mercantile instinct that they inherited from their fathers were enabled to build up those great estates which added such splendor to the Virginia aristocracy of the 18th, century.
Having clergymen of their own persuasion, for whom they entertained the highest respect and veneration, they were disposed to encourage them as much as their narrow circumstances would admit. Governor Ludwell received the wandering foreigners with great civility, and was not a little solicitous to provide them with settlements equal to their expectations.
Philip Ludwell had brought into the colony forty immigrants and according to a law which had been in force ever since the days of the London Company, this entitled him to a grant of two thousand acres of land. After securing the patent, he changed the record with his own hand by adding one cipher each to the forty and the two thousand, making them four hundred and twenty thousand respectively.

As the sun mounted the heat increased, and with it the interminable, monotonous, and trying zirr, zirr, of the underworld on blade and bush. He rode with a dark face, and with lines of anger between his brows. It had come to him like a chance spark to a mine that Ludwell Cary was not at Greenwood, was yet upon the road before him.
Ludwell did not come home last night, and this morning James Wilson, here, found Saladin " "Far up the river road, near my house," said the man upon the steps. "'Twas just about daybreak. I didn't know, sir, whose horse he was, so I put him in my stable. Then my son and me and Joe White, a neighbour of mine, we set out down the river road." "Oh, my young marster! Oh, my young marster!" wailed Eli.
His inmost, his highest man had no desire to feel or to exhibit ungoverned rage, but there was a legion against him and the black and furious dog. The coffee house was in a ferment. "Gentlemen gentlemen! What's the quarrel, Rand? Ludwell Cary, I'm at your service! Bills and bows! bills and bows! or is it coffee and pistols?" Fairfax Cary had sprung to his brother's side.
