LIONEL CARVEL, OF CARVEL HALL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLionel Carvel, Esq., of Carvel Hall, in the county of Queen Anne, was no\u003cbr\u003einconsiderable man in his Lordship's province of Maryland, and indeed\u003cbr\u003ehe was not unknown in the colonial capitals from Williamsburg to Boston.\u003cbr\u003eWhen his ships arrived out, in May or June, they made a goodly showing\u003cbr\u003eat the wharves, and his captains were ever shrewd men of judgment who\u003cbr\u003esniffed a Frenchman on the horizon, so that none of the Carvel tobacco\u003cbr\u003eever went, in that way, to gladden a Gallic heart. Mr. Carvel's acres\u003cbr\u003ewere both rich and broad, and his house wide for the stranger who might\u003cbr\u003eseek its shelter, as with God's help so it ever shall be. It has yet to\u003cbr\u003ebe said of the Carvels that their guests are hurried away, or that one,\u003cbr\u003eby reason of his worldly goods or position, shall be more welcome than\u003cbr\u003eanother.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI take no shame in the pride with which I write of my grandfather,\u003cbr\u003ealbeit he took the part of his Majesty and Parliament against the\u003cbr\u003eColonies. He was no palavering turncoat, like my Uncle Grafton, to cry\u003cbr\u003e\"God save the King!\" again when an English fleet sailed up the bay. Mr.\u003cbr\u003eCarvel's hand was large and his heart was large, and he was respected\u003cbr\u003eand even loved by the patriots as a man above paltry subterfuge. He was\u003cbr\u003eborn at Carvel Hall in the year of our Lord 1696, when the house was,\u003cbr\u003eI am told, but a small dwelling. It was his father, George Carvel, my\u003cbr\u003egreat-grandsire, reared the present house in the year 1720, of brick\u003cbr\u003ebrought from England as ballast for the empty ships; he added on, in\u003cbr\u003ethe years following, the wide wings containing the ball-room, and the\u003cbr\u003ebanquet-hall, and the large library at the eastern end, and the offices.\u003cbr\u003eBut it was my grandfather who built the great stables and the kennels\u003cbr\u003ewhere he kept his beagles and his fleeter hounds. He dearly loved the\u003cbr\u003esaddle and the chase, and taught me to love them too. Many the sharp\u003cbr\u003ewinter day I have followed the fox with him over two counties, and lain\u003cbr\u003ethat night, and a week after, forsooth, at the plantation of some kind\u003cbr\u003efriend who was only too glad to receive us. Often, too, have we stood\u003cbr\u003etogether from early morning until dark night, waist deep, on the duck\u003cbr\u003epoints, I with a fowling-piece I was all but too young to carry, and\u003cbr\u003ebrought back a hundred red-heads or canvas-backs in our bags.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145630957808,"sku":"2940013374928","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013374928_p0.jpg?v=1763580584","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013374928","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
