This tree is growing in quantity at Box-hill in Surry, and has given name to that place.
"Like lightning, Surry! I wish to dispatch him at once!" Without reply I wheeled my horse, and went back rapidly toward the house in the Wilderness. I soon reached the spot, rode to the window, and called to Nighthawk, who came out promptly at my call. "Your friend has not arrived?" I said. "He will not come till midnight, colonel."
Thomas Warren's "fifty foot brick house" on Smith's Fort Plantation was mentioned in a deposition recorded in Surry County as having been, in 1654, "recently completed." The structure now standing is a version of the original house, which apparently was rebuilt about the end of the seventeenth century. The dwelling-house of Captain Thomas Bernard on Mulberry Island was mentioned in 1641.

"'What I have to tell you concerns your honor and your life, sir! he said, in a low tone. "I gazed at him in speechless astonishment. Was I the prey of some nightmare?

"'How can you think of such a thing! she said. 'I did not know how much you loved me! "You will understand, my dear Surry, that those words did not change my resolution.
Surry braced himself automatically when Jack drew tight the loop, and the bull went down with a thud and lay with his forefeet held high in air, so close to his quarry that the tip of one horn struck Tejon upon the knee and flicked a raw, red spot there.

I smoked some sort of weed I forget the name of it but it wasn't tobacco; and then I smoked cigarettes not the ones we get now, for those cost a penny each.
