At twelve o'clock we all retired to our apartments, and before I slept I spent some minutes in devotion, with vows of amendment which I fully intended to keep. The next morning Mr Somerville joined us at breakfast. This was another trial of feeling for poor Emily, who threw herself into her father's arms, and sobbed aloud.
Through Lady Bunbury we became intimate with all the members of the illustrious family of the Napiers, as she was sister of Colonel, afterwards General Sir William Napier, author of the "History of the Peninsular War." One day Colonel Napier, who was then living in Sloane Street, introduced Somerville and me to his mother, Lady Sarah Napier.
Did not he love books, and why then should he quarrel with Marjorie? It was not for loving books, but for loving books better than anything! Had Mrs. Browning loved books better than anything, or Mary Somerville, or Fredrika Bremer? yes, Fredrika Bremer had refused to be married, but there was Marjorie's favorite "Tell me all about Linnet," said Marjorie, breaking the uncomfortable silence.
Captain Boyle Somerville, R.N., finds that the line 29° or 30° west of north would mark the setting of Capella in B.C. 1600, or Arcturus 500 B.C.; he adds that the direction 41° west of north would suit Capella in 2500 B.C. or Castor in 2000 B.C. On the west side of Lough Gur is another group of monuments. There is in the first place a circle 55 feet in diameter.
Agréez, je vous supplie, l'hommage de mon affectueuse et respectueuse reconnaissance, Somerville and I spent the Christmas at Collingwood with our friends the Herschels. The party consisted of Mr. Airy, Astronomer-Royal, and Mr. Adams, who had taken high honours at Cambridge.
He was commonly known by the name of "French Somerville," from having passed part of his early life in France, and from his exhibiting traces of French taste in his mode of living, and the arrangements of his house. In fact, it was in his pleasure-boat, which had got adrift, that I had made my fanciful and disastrous cruise.
My conduct, though blameable, was not viewed in that heinous light, either by my father or Mr Somerville; and both of them did all that could be done to restore harmony. Clara and Talbot interposed their kind offices, but with no better success. The maiden pride of the inexorable Emily had been alarmed by a beautiful rival, with a young family, in the next village.
'No; it must be the flag of the SSSS's. 'That ought to be a bit of bare skin. 'No, no a pair of feet motto, "Off, vile lendings!" 'I say, I don't think you can get any farther, interposed Somerville. 'I've been on four rocks farther, and I'm sure you will never get back again if you go on. 'Oh, that's base! I'm sure this one isn't so hard.
My son, Woronzow Greig, had been educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, and was travelling on the Continent, when Somerville and I received an invitation from the Principal, Dr. Whewell, to visit the University. Mr. Airy, then astronomer at Cambridge, now Astronomer-Royal at Greenwich, and Mrs.
Kennedy thrust his hands into his pockets, frowned portentously as he looked from one to the other, and said slowly, "Miss Kennedy, Mr. Somerville!" then turning to his son, remarked, "That's something new, Charley, lad; that girl is Miss Kennedy, and that youth there is Mr. Somerville!"
