Annie's pretty Grand-aunt Penny had at least enjoyed her day; she had had her triumph, however short-lived, in marrying the man of her heart, who was also a Beauchamp of Waylands, and in being raised for even a brief space to the charmed circle of the county.
With this apology, therefore, I present Mr. Free's song: AIR, Na Guilloch y' Goulen. Oh, once we were illigint people, Though we now live in cabins of mud; And the land that ye see from the steeple Belonged to us all from the Flood. My father was then King of Connaught, My grand-aunt Viceroy of Tralee; But the Sassenach came, and signs on it, The devil an acre have we.
Mecklenburg county is proud of her son! In the old "Polk Graveyard," nine miles from Charlotte, is the tombstone of Mrs. Maria Polk, a grand-aunt of President Polk, containing a lengthy eulogy, in poetry and prose, of this good woman.

His grand-aunt had gruffly replied that she was his cousin Sue Bridehead, of the inimical branch of the family; and on further questioning the old woman had replied that the girl lived in Christminster, though she did not know where, or what she was doing. His aunt would not give him the photograph.
It will be ages from now, no doubt. Of course Lady Helena will object." "You don't mind that?" "Not a whit. A grand-aunt is a grand-aunt, nothing more. She is his only living relative, he is of age, able to speak and act for himself. The true love of any good man honors the woman who receives it. In that way Sir Victor Catheron honors me, and in no other.
"My poor grand-aunt, Pisana Vendramin; he went and killed her with those songs of his, with that Aria dei Mariti." I feel senseless rage overcoming me. The people round the piano, the furniture, everything together seems to get mixed and to turn into moving blobs of color.
"Golden lads and girls, all must, As chimney-sweepers come to dust!" "I say, Dulce, isn't Portia like that picture of your grand-aunt in the north gallery?" "Like who?" asks Portia, anxiously.
