Of her, he frankly says, "I have never heard what became; but for his four brothers, I am happy to state, that though not formidable as soldiers, they were very amiable as citizens." James tells us of two daughters, not naming either, but describing them as "grandmothers of the families of the Mitchells, of Georgetown, and of the Dwights, formerly of the same place, but now of St.
It seemed to him that since Aylmer had been away she had altered a little. More of the Mitchells Edith had become an immense favourite with the Mitchells. They hardly ever had any entertainment without her. Her success with their friends delighted Mrs Mitchell, who was not capable of commonplace feminine jealousy, and who regarded Edith as a find of her own.
The Mitchells The Mitchells were, as Vincy had said, extremely hospitable; they had a perfect mania for receiving; they practically lived for it, and the big house at Hampstead, with its large garden covered in, and a sort of studio built out, was scarcely ever without guests. When they didn't have some sort of party they invariably went out.
I have a funny kind of feeling that the right address is Hamilton House. 'I suppose you're perfectly certain they don't live at a private idiot asylum? Edith suggested doubtfully. On inquiry it appeared the Mitchells did not live at Hamilton Gardens. An idea occurred to Edith, and she asked for a directory. The Winthrop Mitchells lived at Hamilton Terrace, St John's Wood. 'At last! said Bruce.
'What are you going to wear tonight, Edith? 'Oh; anything! 'Don't say anything. I don't wish you to wear anything. I'm anxious you should look your best, really nice, especially as we haven't been to the Mitchells' for so long. Wear your new blue dress. 'Very well.

'How you can expect me to go to the Mitchells' again after their conduct is more than I can understand! Have you no pride, Edith? Edith looked bewildered. 'Has anything happened? What have the Mitchells done? she asked.
When they drove up to what house agents call in their emotional way a superb, desirable, magnificent town mansion, they saw that a large dinner-party was evidently going on. A hall porter and four powdered footmen were in evidence. 'By Jove! said Bruce, as he got out, 'I'd no idea old Mitchell did himself so well as this.... The butler had never heard of the Mitchells.
This, Edith said, would have been excellent, provided that the parlourmaid hadn't told them that she and Bruce had arrived about a quarter to ten on Sunday evening and asked if the Mitchells had begun dinner. The chances against the servant having kept this curious incident to herself were almost too great.
If teaching navigation to girls would give us a thousand Maria Mitchells in this country, by all means let it be taught. Maria left the public school at sixteen, and for a year attended a private school; then, loving mathematics, and being deeply interested in her father's studies, she became at seventeen his helper in the work of the Coast Survey.
Up to the time of which we write no fewer than 17,000 persons had suffered for attending field meetings, either by fine, imprisonment, or death. Such was the state of matters when the party of dragoons under command of Sergeant Glendinning rode towards the Mitchells' cottage, which was not far from Black's farm.
