Colonel Ranaldson Macdonell of Glengarry.
While he was dean of Christ's church, he made verses on a play acted before the King at Woodstock, called Technogamia, or the marriage of Arts, written by Barten Holiday the poet, who afterwards translated Juvenal.

Deer-stealers also, who are ever a desperate banditti, had of late infested Woodstock Chase.
If you take up business, you drop poetising. Those two horses never yet pulled at the same shaft, and never will." Mr. Woodstock pondered for a few moments. He thrust out his great legs with feet crossed on the fender, and with his hands jingled coin in his trouser-pockets. "I tell you what," he suddenly began. "There's only one thing I know of at present that you're likely to be able to do.
Then General Merritt directed me to send one regiment to reinforce Custer, who was being hard pressed by Rosser on the back road, and take the others and drive Lomax back. The Seventh was sent to Custer and the First, Fifth and Sixth, the Sixth leading, drove the cavalry that had been annoying our rear at a jump back to Woodstock, a distance of about six miles.

And here he arrived at another dead pause, leaving Wildrake as uncertain as before, whether it was or was not his purpose to grant Colonel Everard the powers he had asked for the protection of Woodstock against the Parliamentary Commissioners. Internally he began to entertain hopes that the justice of Heaven, or the effects of remorse, had confounded the regicide's understanding.
"The bells have stopped," she said, listening. "It's half-past eleven. Put on your things, Ida." The child obeyed, wondering. "Give me my purse out of the drawer. See, there's a shilling. Now, say this after me: Mr. Abra'm Woodstock, Number , St. John Street Road." Ida repeated the address. "Now, listen, Ida.
