Dying in 1555, he was buried in the little parish church of Chenies, near Woburn, where all the Russells rest from his time until now. Woburn Abbey remained until the last century much in its original condition, but in 1747 changes began which have since been continued, and have resulted in the construction of the ducal palace now adorning the spot.
Towards the close of this period he acknowledged that London was "among improper places" the best for "writing books," after all the one use of living "for him;" its inhabitants "greatly the best" he "had ever walked with," and its aristocracy the Marshalls, Stanleys, Hollands, Russells, Ashburtons, Lansdownes, who held by him through life its "choicest specimens."
I shall, for this reason, choose the Arthur Russells for description in detail. They were very old friends of the Nassau-Seniors and so of Mrs. Simpson, and friends with a double liaison. Mr.
Chamberlain, and, in fact, all the Liberal and Radical Unionists of the day. Finally and, as it were, to cement my wife's old and my new friendship with the Arthur Russells, I bought a piece of land on which to build a Saturday-to-Monday cottage, which, though I did not fully realise it at the moment, was close to the Arthur Russells' Surrey house, The Ridgeway.
There is a notable peculiarity about this the most purely New-England of our colleges, the continual recurrence of familiar patronymics. I take up the last semi-annual catalogue, and there among the five hundred names I can almost make out my own classmates of twenty years ago. Abbots, Bigelows, Lawrences, Masons, Russells, they come with every Commencement-season.
"Stephen," said he, "of course you're going to the Brinsmade's." Stephen shook his head. "Why not?" said Tom, in surprise. "Haven't you a costume?" "Yes," he answered dubiously. "Why, then, you've got to come with me," says Tom, heartily. "It isn't too late, and they'll want you. I've a buggy, and I'm going to the Russells' to change my clothes. Came along" Steven went.
We also got talking of the barony of Lecale, which he, as well as my own people, had sprung from, and how it had been the only Norman colony in Ulster; how many of the descendants of De Courcy's followers were still there, as might be seen from their names Russells, Savages, Mandevilles.
An old bench and loose boards taken from a semi-partition in the room served as beds for our party, and we passed a fairly comfortable night. But the Russells were away and did not return until night, so that we were unable to proceed until the following morning. Now a new problem presented itself, which was all the more exasperating for the reason that we were in sight of our goal.
Monday morning about half an hour before sunrise, two of Capt. Russells company discovered a large party of Indians about a mile from camp, one of which men was killed, the other made his escape & brought in his intelligence. In two or three minutes after, two of Capt. Shelby's Company came in & confirmed the account, Col. Andrew Lewis being informed thereof immediately ordered Col.
Everybody everywhere is turning tables. The young Russells, who are surcharged with electricity, set them spinning in ten minutes. In general, you know, it is usual to take off all articles of metal. They, the other night, took a fancy to remove their rings and bracelets, and, having done so, the table, which had paused for a moment, began whirling again as fast as ever the contrary way.
