At least that's the story as I've put it together. Mostly nobody would tell me anything. I was the blacksheep from the day I was born " "But your ma, she'd give you the right of it." "She died when I was born. That's another thing my grandfather had against me. I was Hunt Rennie's son, and I killed my mother; that's the way he saw it."
"I do not mean that Miss Rennie's never being out of Scotland should make her know little; but you young ladies are taken such care of, that you know very little of what life really is." "It must be a disadvantage to all female authors," said Elsie, "to know so little of business and so little of the world. I do not wonder at men despising women's books."
He had been jointly concerned with Mr. Rennie in carrying out the important works of the Eau Brink Cut, and at Mr. Rennie's death he succeeded to much of his practice as consulting engineer. It was principally in designing and carrying out the drainage of the North Level that Mr. Telford distinguished himself in Fen drainage.
He was a hard man...." Cousin Merry faced Aunt Marianna with her chin up as if daring the other to object what she'd just said. Drew returned to the news he still found difficult to believe. "So my father's alive, Major. Well, that gives me some place to go Texas...." "Hunt Rennie's not in Texas."

The bottom of the harbour was accordingly deepened by cutting out 30,000 cubic yards of rocky ground; and part of Mr. Rennie's design was carried out by extending the jetty of the west pier, though only for a distance of twenty yards.

Mr. Telford confirmed Mr. Rennie's views to a large extent, more especially with reference to the construction of an entirely new outfall, by making an artificial channel from Kindersleys Cut to Crab-Hole Eye anchorage, by which a level lower by nearly twelve feet would be secured for the outfall waters; but he preferred leaving the river open to the tide as high as Wisbeach, rather than place a lock with draw-doors at Lutton Leam Sluice, as had been proposed by Mr.
Sidney swung the sled around and put it in position for another coast. "Yes, I know her," he admitted tranquilly. "She is a very handsome woman, and I suppose most people would consider her fascinating. Come, Nic, get on the sled. We have just time for one more coast, and then you must go in." "You were once a good friend ... a very good friend ... of Mrs. Rennie's, weren't you, Sid?" I said.
