As my wife for I had been three years married and had two little Randolphs to show that both Katherine Blair and I knew what marriage was for never tired of saying, "Poor Bob! He's woman-blind, and it looks as though he would never get his sight in that direction." "Then again, Jim," he continued in a tone of great seriousness, "there's a little secret I have never let even you into.
And she'd stroke his head a little longer and offer not to go to the dinner if he wanted her to stay, and he'd say, no, he was better already, and then she'd give him a good-by kiss and steal away, and be the life of the party at the Randolphs' dinner, but her thoughts would never leave him....
Their case was clear; only by absolutely overriding the law of England could the people win. The array of legal talent on the side of the Church included the best lawyers in the Colony the Randolphs and other aristocrats were there. And on the other side was Patrick Henry, the tall, lean, lank, sallow and uncouth representative of the people.
Did Washington forget his usual poise and break out into one of those swearing fits where everybody wisely made way? And how did Richard Henry Lee like it, and George Wythe, and the Randolphs?

The account-book shows that after this incident the young ladies did not diminish their attention to the harpsichord, guitar, and dancing-master. Maria, who was married to John W.

Or, again, as if for all these months, she had been playing a part in a preposterously long play, on which the curtain was, presently, going to be rung down. She wished Rodney would come hoped he wouldn't be late, and finally sat down before the telephone with a half-formed idea of calling him up and reminding him that they were dining with the Randolphs.
In the interval of my stay at home, my eldest daughter had been happily married to the eldest son of the Tuckahoe branch of Randolphs, a young gentleman of genius, science, and honorable mind, who afterwards filled a dignified station in the General Government, and the most dignified in his own State. I left Monticello on the 1st of March, 1790, for New York.
This home of the Randolphs was so elaborately splendid, that a man served out the whole term of his apprenticeship to the trade of carpenter in one of its rooms. The lofty dome was for many years a beacon to the navigator.
