In The Big Living-Room At Ingleside Susan Baker Sat Down With A Certain Grim Satisfaction Hovering About Her Like An Aura; It Was Four O'clock And Susan, Who Had Been Working Incessantly Since Six That Morning, Felt That She Had Fairly Earned An Hour Of Repose And Gossip.

It Was A Bare Room, Up Three Flights Of Stairs. Marcella Watched While The Men Carried Him In and Laid Him On The Bed. Mrs. King Seemed Inclined To Stay And Gossip In Whispers, But, After Thanking Her, And Saying They Would Talk To-Morrow, Marcella Shut The Door And Locked It. Then She Looked Round. There Were Three Candles Burning. With A Little Cry Of Superstitious Fear She Blew One Out And Pinched The Wick. Through The Two Big Windows She Could See The Ships In The Harbour With Rows Of Shining Portholes: Ferries Were Fussing To And Fro Like Fiery Water Beetles. From The Man-Of-War She Saw The Winking Morse Light Signalling To The Heads. Trams Clanged By In The Distance; In a Public-House Near By Men Were Singing And Laughing. In The Room Louis Was Snoring Gustily. She Turned From The Open Window And Looked At Him. [more]

James Anthony Froude (/ˈfruːd/ frood;[1][2] 23 April 1818 – 20 October 1894) was an English historian, novelist, biographer, and editor of Fraser's Magazine. From his upbringing amidst the Anglo-Catholic Oxford Movement, Froude intended to become a clergyman, but doubts about the doctrines of the Anglican church, published in his scandalous 1849 novel The Nemesis of Faith, drove him to abandon his religious career. Froude turned to writing history, becoming one of the best known historians of his time for his History of England from the Fall of Wolsey to the Defeat of the Spanish Armada.[3] Inspired by Thomas Carlyle, Froude's historical writings were often fiercely polemical, earning him a number of outspoken opponents. Froude continued to be controversial up until his death for his Life of Carlyle, which he published along with personal writings of Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle. These publications illuminated Carlyle's often selfish personality, and led to persistent gossip and discussion of the couple's marital problems. [more]

In Her Long History There Can Have Been Few Mornings Upon Which Edinburgh Had More To Offer Her Burghers In The Way Of Gossip And Rumour Than On That Of The 1st Of July, 1600. In This `Gate' And That `Gate,' As One May Imagine, The Douce Citizens Must Have Clustered And Broke And Clustered, Like Eddied Foam On A Spated Burn.
