Long thwarted in their policy by Moray and its Pictish maormors, who claimed even the throne itself, these two kings pushed their authority, by organisation and conquest, more and more towards the north. Alexander I founded the Bishoprics of St. Andrew's, Dunkeld, and Moray in 1107, and the Monastery of Scone, afterwards intimately connected with Kildonan in Sutherland, in 1113 or 1114.
And at this Scone Dacres began his story. "I'll tell you all about it," said Scone Dacres; "but don't laugh, for matters like these are not to be trifled with, and I may take offense." "Oh, bother, as if I ever laugh at any thing serious! By Jove! no. You don't know me, old chap." "All right, then. Well, to begin. This wife that I speak of happened to me very suddenly.
"Trodden upon by whom?" "By all. And I am afraid of them." "Why so?" "Because I am." Breathing upon a morsel of the scone, the woman offered it him with the quiet words: "You have had much to bear. Now, shall I tell you my history, or shall we first have tea?"
Porter was like a character in a comic strip; a six foot scone in a thought balloon hovered over his car. Oliver collected his mail. Gifford Sims of The First Fundamentalist Hospital was interested in talking with him. There were a couple of bills. A Thanksgiving invitation from Amanda. "Mother and Paul are coming. Heather has been asking about you." Sunday morning was cold and windy.
Canterbury and York contended for ecclesiastical superiority over Scotland; after various adventures, Robert, the prior of the Augustinians at Scone, was made Bishop of St Andrews, being consecrated by Canterbury, in 1124; while York consecrated David's bishop in Glasgow.
They'd put him where even a well-turned Scotch scone couldn't appeal to him. "Listen," I solemnly admonished. "If this Cousin Allie of yours is coming out here for a ranch, she's got to be presented with one." "It sounds easy!" he said, not without mockery. "And apparently the only way we can see that she's given her money's worth is to hand Casa Grande over to her.
But the minister did n't mind. On the contrary, he commended everybody for fellowship and good-feeling, and felt sure that the district would be rewarded. It took the Rev. Macpherson no time to polish off the scone. When the last of it was disappearing Mother became uneasy again. So did Dad. He stared through the window at the parson's sleepy-looking horse, fastened to the fence.
But Barry's plans brimmed up and over. Neville said "You sudden child! And in July and August, too.... But you'll have only a month before you join Nan in Cornwall, won't you?" Gerda nodded, munching a buttered scone. Grandmama, like an old war-horse scenting the fray, thought "Is it going to be an affair? Will they fall in love? And what of Nan?"
All of the House of Hamilton, for instance, and some other persons of note, including Lauderdale: all who had joined the Engagement, or who had not joined in the protestation against it: all who had sat in Parliament or on the Committee of Estates after the coronation of Charles at Scone: all who had borne arms at the battle of Worcester.
The stone which Jacob used that night as a pillow, so we are told, is called the Stone of Scone, and is to be seen in the body of the Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey.
