For one, he had temporarily dropped his trade and gone into the ?our-and-grain business; and, for another, he had married my mother. She was the daughter of a Scotch couple who had come to England and settled in Alnwick, in Northumberland County. Her father, James Stott, was the driver of the royal-mail stage between Alnwick and N ew castle, and his accidental death while he was still a young man left my grandmother and her eight children almost destitute. She was immediately given a position in the castle of the Duke of Nor thumberland, and her sons were educated in the duke's school, while her daughters were entered in the school of the duchess.
