sometime of Pitcullo, and in religion called Brother Norman, of the Order
of Benedictines, of Dunfermline, indite this book. But on my coming out
of France, in the year of our Lord One thousand four hundred and fifty-
nine, it was laid on me by my Superior, Richard, Abbot in Dunfermline,
that I should abbreviate the Great Chronicle of Scotland, and continue
the same down to our own time. {1} He bade me tell, moreover, all that I
knew of the glorious Maid of France, called Jeanne la Pucelle, in whose
company I was, from her beginning even till her end. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

It had become a
definite ambition with her, the stronger because Spenser's
jealousy and suspicion had forced her to keep it a secret, to
pretend to herself that she had no thought but going on
indefinitely as his obedient and devoted mistress. The
hardiest and best growths are the growths inward—where they
have sun and air from without. She had been at the theater
several times every week, and had studied the performances at
a point of view very different from that of the audience. It
was there to be amused; she was there to learn. Spenser and
such of his friends as he would let meet her talked plays and
acting most of the time. He had forbidden her to have women
friends. "Men don't demoralize women; women demoralize each
other," was one of his axioms. But such women as she had a
bowing acquaintance with were all on the stage—in comic
operas or musical farces. She was much alone; that meant many
hours every day which could not but be spent by a mind like
hers in reading and in thinking. Only those who have observed
the difference aloneness makes in mental development, where
there is a good mind, can appreciate how rapidly, how broadly,
Susan expanded. She read plays more than any other kind of
literature. She did not read them casually but was always
thinking how they would act. She was soon making in
imagination stage scenes out of dramatic chapters in novels as
she read. More and more clearly the characters of play and
novel took shape and substance before the eyes of her fancy.
But the stage was clearly out of the question. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

been a Staunton attorney of high connections and
successful practice. During that time public offices
and positions of trust filled by him have comprised
a long list. In the difficult field of historical scholarship,
as an author of fiction, essays and verse, his
work entitles him to rank with the most notable of
the literary Virginians of his generation. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
| 20 | Author: | unknown | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | History of Virginia | | | | Published: | 2006 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | William Hodges Mann, soldier, farmer, lawyer
and banker, has held many places of public trust, and
the State of Virginia will always appreciate the services
he rendered as a member of the State Senate
and from 1910 to 1914 as governor of the commonwealth. "I have rec'd your letter of the 15th and regret
the necessity that withdraws you from the field.
You may recollect the opinion I expressed to you
when you first proposed entering the service, viz.,
that I was not sure but that you were doing more
service in your then position than you could do
in the field, and that unless you could make arrangements
for the favourable prosecution of your operations
(at the Tredegar Iron Works), I could not
recommend the exchange. With the same impression
and belief, as you say you cannot make such
arrangements, I have forw'd your resignation and
recommended its acceptance. [From The Richmond Times, January 24, 1892.] | | | Similar Items: | Find |
