In New York, for instance, the Bogardus blood is quite as good as the Bevier or the Broderick or the Van Elten; but up the Hudson, owing to those chances or mischances that selected our farming aristocracy for us, my father's people had slipped out of their holdings and sunk to the poor artisan class which the old Dutch landowners held in contempt." "We are not landowners," said Moya.
The old home was there, for her and for her children, but no home for the traitor, as he called father. She must give him up even to his name. No Bogardus could inherit of a Van Elten. "She had not then lost all hope of father's return, and she never forgave her father for trying to buy her back for the price of what she considered her birthright.

There is Evelyn Cardwell; she came out when I did; and there comes Sandon Craig with a very old lady there, in that old-fashioned coach oh, it is Mrs. Jan Van Elten, senior. What a very, very quaint old lady! I have been presented at court," she added, with a little laugh, "and now all the law has been fulfilled."
