Excerpt from Lodore
Yet an obscure fate pursued the house of Fitzhenry, -even in its ennobled' condition. The new lord was proud of his elevation, as a merited reward but neat to the deck of his ship, he loved the tranquil precincts of his pater nal mansion, and here he spent his latter days in peace. Midway in life, he had married the daughter of the rector of Longfield. Various fates had attended the offspring s gini'on several died, and at the time of his being created a peer, Lor Ledere found himself a widower, with two children - Elizabeth, who had been born twelve years before, and Henry, whose recent birth had cost the life of his hapless and lamented mother.
