Digby, therefore, having accepted her apologies and extenuations, challenged Sackville to a duel; whereupon the faithless one proved at least magnanimous; refused to fight, gave up the picture, and swore that Venetia was blameless as she was fair. A private marriage followed; and it was only on the birth of his second son John that Sir Kenelm acknowledged it to the world. To read nearly all his Memoirs is to receive the impression that he looked on his wife as a wronged innocent. To read the whole is to feel he knew the truth and took the risk, which was not very great after all; for the lady of the many suitors and several adventures settled down to the mildest domesticity. They say he was jealous; but no one has said she gave him cause. The tale runs that Dorset visited them once a year, and "only kissed her hand, Sir Kenelm being by." [more]

Among My Earliest Recollections These Three Words Have A Place, Coming To My Ears As The Presages Of A Reprimand. I Had Made A Frantic Effort To Lift My Baby-Brother From His Cradle, And Had Succeeded Only In Upsetting Baby, Pillows And All, Waking My Mother From Her Little Nap, While Brother Hal Stood By And Shouted, "Emily Did It." I Was Only Five Years Of Age At That Eventful Period, And Was As Indignant At The Scolding I Received When Trying To Do A Magnanimous Act, Take Care Of Baby And Let Poor, Tired Mother Sleep, As I Have Been Many Times Since, When, Unluckily, I Had Upset Somebody's Dish, And "Emily Did It" Has Rung Its Hateful Sound In My Ears. To Say I Was Unlucky Was Not Enough; I Was Untimely, Unwarranted And Unwanted, I Often Felt, In Early Years In Everything I Attempted, And The Naturally Quick Temper I Possessed Was Only Aggravated And Tortured Into More Harassing Activity, Rendering Me On The Whole, Perhaps, Not Very Amiable. Interesting I Could Not Be, Since Whatever I Attempted I Seemed Fated To Say Or Do Something To Hurt Somebody's Feelings, And, Mortified At My Failures, I Would Draw Myself Closer To Myself, Shrinking From Others, And Saying Again And Again, "Emily, Why _Must_ You Do It?" Introducing Myself Thus Clouded To Your Sympathy, I Cannot Expect My Reader Would Be Interested In A Rehearsal Of All My Early Trials. [more]

The Name Of Lee Is Beloved And Respected Throughout The World. Men Of All Parties And Opinions Unite In This Sentiment, Not Only Those Who Thought And Fought With Him, But Those Most Violently Opposed To His Political Views And Career. It Is Natural That His Own People Should Love And Honor Him As Their Great Leader And Defender In A Struggle Of Intense Bitterness--That His Old Enemies Should Share This Profound Regard And Admiration Is Due Solely To The Character Of The Individual. His Military Genius Will Always Be Conceded, And His Figure Remain A Conspicuous Landmark In History; But This Does Not Account For The Fact That His Very Enemies Love The Man. His Private Character Is The Origin Of This Sentiment. The People Of The North, No Less Than The People Of The South, Feel That Lee Was Truly Great; And The Harshest Critic Has Been Able To Find Nothing To Detract From This View Of Him. The Soldier Was Great, But The Man Himself Was Greater. No One Was Ever Simpler, Truer, Or More Honest. Those Who Knew Him Best Loved Him The Most. Reserved And Silent, With A Bearing Of Almost Austere Dignity, He Impressed Many Persons As Cold And Unsympathetic, And His True Character Was Long In Revealing Itself To The World. To-Day All Men Know What His Friends Knew During His Life--That Under The Grave Exterior Of The Soldier, Oppressed With Care And Anxiety, Beat A Warm And Kindly Heart, Full Of An Even Extraordinary Gentleness And Sweetness; That The Man Himself Was Not Cold, Or Stiff, Or Harsh, But Patient, Forbearing, Charitable Under Many Trials Of His Equanimity, And Magnanimous Without Effort, From The Native Impulse Of His Heart. Friend And Foe Thus To-Day Regard Him With Much The Same Sentiment, As A Genuinely Honest Man, Incapable Of Duplicity In Thought Or Deed, Wholly Good And Sincere, Inspired Always Under All Temptations By That _Prisca Fides_ Which Purifies And Ennobles, And Resolutely Bent, In The Dark Hour, As In The Bright, On The Full Performance Of His Duty. "Duty Is The Sublimest Word In Our Language," He Wrote To His Son; And, If We Add That Other August Maxim, "Human Virtue Should Be Equal To Human Calamity," We Shall Have In A Few Words A Summary Of The Principles Which Inspired Lee.
