     RETROSPECTION AND
     INTROSPECTION

     Ancestral Shadows



   1      My ancestors, according to the flesh, were from both
     Scotland and England, my great-grandfather, on
   3  my father's side, being John McNeil of Edinburgh.
         His wife, my great-grandmother, was Marion Moor,
     and her family is said to have been in some way related
   6  to Hannah More, the pious and popular English authoress
     of a century ago.
         I remember reading, in my childhood, certain manu-
   9  scripts containing Scriptural sonnets, besides other verses
     and enigmas which my grandmother said were written
     by my great-grandmother. But because my great-grand-
  12  mother wrote a stray sonnet and an occasional riddle, it
     was no sign that she inherited a spark from Hannah More,
     or was her relative.
  15      John and Marion Moor McNeil had a daughter, who
     perpetuated her mother's name. This second Marion
     McNeil in due time was married to an Englishman,
  18  named Joseph Baker, and so became my paternal grand-
     mother, the Scotch and English elements thus mingling
     in her children.
