The Pioneers, Or, The Sources Of The Susquehanna
( Originally Published Early 1900's )
A tale of the early settlement of Otsego County, New York, ten years after the close of the Revolution. The tract of country described was originally included in Albany County; it then became, by division, a part of Montgomery County, and finally, after the peace of 1783, was set off as a county by itself. The name Otsego is said to be compounded of the Indian Ot, a place of meeting, and Sego or Sago, the ordinary term of salutation by the aborigines of the region. The story, which opens in 1793, was the earliest written of the Leather-Stocking Tales. The character of Leather-Stocking is a creation, and most of the others are fictitious. Templeton is, of course, Cooperstown.
MARMADUKE TEMPLE, of Quaker origin, his ancestor having come into the country with William Penn, was the wealthiest landholder in Otsego County and held its highest judicial station. His parents had been enabled to give him a better education than the common schools afforded, and he had thus formed acquaintances with persons somewhat higher than himself in the social scale. In the select school which he at-tended he had formed an intimacy with Edward Effingham, the son of a wealthy family of high court connections, who thought it a degradation to its members to descend to the pursuits of commerce, and who never emerged from the privacy of domestic life unless to preside in the councils of the colony, or to bear arms in her defense. When, after forty years of active service, the father of Edward retired with the rank of major, he became a man of the first consideration in his native colony of New York and maintained a domestic establishment of comparative splendor.
Edward, the friend of Marmaduke, was the Major's only child, and on his marriage with a lady to whom the father was particularly partial the Major gave him his whole estate, thus throwing himself on his son's filial piety for his own future maintenance. One of the first acts of the young man, on coming into the possession of wealth, was to seek his early friend, who had been left at the death of his father in somewhat straitened circumstances, and to proffer assistance, which was gratefully accepted. A mercantile house was established in Philadelphia, of which Temple was the ostensible proprietor while Effingham was, in secret, entitled to an equal share in the profits.
This connection was kept secret for two reasons: first, Major Effingham, the father, had a supreme contempt for Quakers, and, as Temple was then quite the Quaker in externals, the son did not care to encounter the prejudices of the father in that respect; and secondly, to the descendant of a line of soldiers commerce seemed a degrading pursuit. Marmaduke directed the operations of the house in a way to afford rich returns, and after his marriage with a lady without the pale and influence of the Society of Friends, there seemed a prospect of removing the veil from the intercourse of the two friends, when the troubles that preceded the War of the Revolution put an end to it. Effingham was intensely loyal, while Temple warmly espoused the cause of the colonists.
A short time before the battle of Lexington, Effingham, already a widower, transmitted to Marmaduke, for safe-keeping, all his valuable effects and papers. When the war began in earnest he took the field at the head of a provincial corps, and all intercourse ceased between the friends. 'When it became necessary to leave Philadelphia, Marmaduke took the precaution to remove his effects, including the papers of his friend, beyond the reach of the royal forces. During the war he served his country in various civil capacities with credit and ability; but he also looked out for his own interests; for when the confiscated estates of loyalists came under the hammer, he appeared in New York and purchased much property at low prices, among others the Effingham estates. When the war ended Mr. Temple turned his attention to the settlement of the tracts he had purchased. His property rapidly increased and he was already ranked among the most wealthy and important of his countrymen. To inherit this wealth he had but one child, a daughter, Elizabeth, who had been educated at one of the best schools of the period. He had gone to bring this daughter home to preside over a household that had too long wanted a mistress, when an incident occurred that led to remarkable consequences.
It was just before Christmas. The Judge and his daughter, riding in a sleigh driven by a negro, had come in sight of their home and the village of Templeton hard by, when the baying of hounds was heard.
"Hold up, Aggy," said he, "there is old Hector. Leather-Stocking has started game in the hills. Now, Bess, if thou canst stand fire, perhaps I will give thee a saddle for thy Christmas dinner."
The Judge took out of the sleigh a double-barreled fowling-piece, and was about to move forward when a fine buck darted into the path a few rods ahead. Both barrels were discharged at him, but apparently without effect, when a third report and then a fourth caused the animal to leap high in the air and then fall and roll over the crust with its own velocity.
"Ha! Natty," he cried, "had I known you were in ambush, I should not have fired."
"Did ye think to stop a full-grown buck with that popgun, Judge ?"
"Here are two hurts: one through the neck and the other through the heart. It is by no means certain, Natty, but I gave him one of the two."
"If there are two balls through the deer, weren't there two rifles fired? And you will own yourself that the buck fell at the last shot, which was sent from a truer and a younger hand than yourn or mine. I can live without the venison, though I am a poor man, but I don't love to give up my lawful dues in a free country."
An air of sullen dissatisfaction pervaded the manner of the hunter during this speech, which the Judge perceived.
"Nay, Natty," he replied with undisturbed good humor, "it is for the honor I contend. A few dollars will pay for the venison; but what will requite me for the lost honor of a buck's tail in my cap? What say you, friend?" he continued, turning to Natty's companion, a man who stood leaning on his rifle.
"That I killed the deer," he answered with haughtiness.
"I am outvoted," replied the Judge with a smile. "But what say you, young man; will three dollars pay you for the buck?"
"First let us determine the question of right," said the youth, firmly but respectfully, and in language far superior to his appearance. "With how many shot did you load your gun ? "
"With five, sir," said the Judge. "Are they not enough to slay a buck?"
"One would do it; but you fired in this direction, and here are four bullets in the tree."
"You are making out the case against yourself," said the Judge, laughing, as he examined the fresh marks in the bark of the pine; "where is the fifth?"
"Here!" said the youth, throwing back his coat and exhibiting a hole in his under garment through which blood was oozing.
"Good God!" exclaimed the Judge with horror. "Quick! get into my sleigh; it is but a mile to the village, where surgical aid can be obtained. Thou shalt live with me till thy wound be healed, ay, and forever afterward."
"I thank you for your good intention, but I must decline your offer. I have a friend who would be uneasy were he to hear that I am hurt and away from him."
"But I buy your deer. Here, this will repay thee, both for thy shot and my own."
The youth bowed at the offer of the bank-note, but replied: "Excuse me; I have need of the venison."
"Take it, I entreat you," said the Judge; and, lowering his voice to a whisper, he added, "it is for a hundred dollars."
The youth seemed to hesitate an instant, and then, blushing, again declined the offer. "Surely, surely, young man—sir," cried Elizabeth, throwing back the hood which concealed her features, "you would not pain my father so much as to have him think that he leaves thus a fellow creature whom he has injured. I entreat you to go with us, and receive medical aid."
Unable to resist the kind urgency of the travelers, and the advice of Leather-Stocking, who said he was now too old to try to cut out a bullet, the youth, though still with evident reluctance, suffered himself to be persuaded to enter the sleigh.
As the horses started, he called out to his companion, who declined to accompany him:
"Natty, say nothing of the shot, nor of where I am going; remember, Natty, as you love me."
"Trust old Leather-Stocking," returned the hunter significantly.
After the young man had had his wound dressed by the doctor of the village, who had been summoned to the Judge's house, he arose to go, saying: "There remains but one thing more to be settled; and that is our respective rights to the deer, Judge Temple."
"I acknowledge it to be thine," said Marmaduke. "In the morning thou wilt call here, and we can adjust this as well as more important matters. Aggy will convey you to your friend in the sleigh."
"But, sir, I cannot go without a part of the deer," he replied, seemingly struggling with his feelings.
"Put the deer in the sleigh," said the Judge to an attendant, "and have the youth conveyed to the hut of Leather-Stocking. But, sir, I trust that I shall see thee again, in order to compensate thee for the wrong I have done thee."
"I am called Edwards," replied the hunter, " Oliver Edwards. I am easily to be seen, for I live nigh by, and am not afraid to show my face, never having injured any man."
"It is we who have injured you, sir," said Elizabeth. "If you decline our assistance you will give my father great pain. He would gladly see you in the morning."
The young man gazed at the fair speaker until his earnest look brought the blood to her temples, and replied: "In the morning, then, will I return, and see Judge Temple."
"It shall be my task," said Marmaduke, as soon as Edwards was gone, "to provide in some manner for the youth. Yet I anticipate some trouble in inducing him to accept my services. He showed a marked dislike, I thought, Bess, to my offer of a residence here for life."
"Really, dear sir," said Elizabeth, "I have not studied the gentleman so closely as to read his feelings in his countenance. I dare say Benjamin can tell you something about him."
"Ay, I have seen the boy before," said Benjamin, who acted as a sort of major-domo on the premises; "he hove in sight about three weeks since in company with Natty Bumppo, bringing the scalp of a wolf for the bounty. Leather-Stocking says he's a sure shot and certain death to wild beasts."
"Does he live in the hut of Bumppo?" asked the Judge.
"Cheek by jowl; the two are always together. They say the young man is a hall-breed, and that his father was a Delaware chief."
On the following day, when Judge Temple again met the young man, he said :
"I have greatly injured you, Mr. Edwards, but fortunately it is in my power to compensate you. My kinsman, Richard Jones, has received an appointment that will deprive me of his assistance, and leaves me destitute of one who might greatly aid me with his pen. My doors are open to you. Become my assistant and receive such compensation as your services will deserve."
Edwards at first declined, on the plea that such duties would interfere too much with other more important business; but when Elizabeth added her entreaties to her father's, he yielded and consented to become an inmate of Judge Temple's house, with the understanding that it was to be only an experiment, and that the engagement could be rescinded by either party at will.
This agreement on the part of the young hunter was partly due perhaps to an Indian called Chingachgook or the Great Snake, who had been christened John Mohegan on his acceptance of Christianity. He was a great friend of Natty Bumppo's, and was often a visitor at his cabin. He had listened with great interest to the offers of the Judge, and when he saw Edwards's evident disinclination to accept them, he drew nearer to them and said :
"Listen to your Father; his words are old. Let the Young Eagle and the Great Land Chief eat together; let them sleep, without fear, near each other. Learn to wait, my son; you are a Delaware, and an Indian warrior knows how to be patient."
After the young man and his friends had departed, Mr. Jones, not altogether pleased with the accession to the house-hold, remarked :
"Really, my dear Marmaduke, I think you did exercise the Christian virtue of patience to the utmost. I was disgusted with his airs. In what apartment is he to be placed, sir, and at what table is he to receive his nectar and ambrosia?"
"I am but too happy, Dickon, to tempt him to eat with ourselves," said the Judge. "He is to fill the station of a gentleman. Let him receive the treatment due to his place."
Meanwhile Leather-Stocking, the Indian, and Edwards had left the village and were crossing the frozen lake towards the mountain, when Edwards said:
"Who could have foreseen this a month since! I have consented to serve Marmaduke Temple,—to be an inmate in the dwelling of the greatest enemy of my race; yet what better could I do ? The servitude cannot be long; and when the motive for submitting to it ceases to exist, I will shake it off like dust from my feet."
"Is he a Mingo, that you will call him enemy?" asked Chingachgook.
"Well, I'm mistrustful, John," said Leather-Stocking, "of such smooth speakers. I've known the whites talk fair when they wanted the Indian lands most. This I will say, though white myself and born of honest parents."
"I will submit," said the youth. "I will forget, old Mohegan, that I am the descendant of a Delaware chief, who once was master of these noble hills and vales. Yes, I will become his bondsman—his slave."
Such were the incidents that led to the coming into Judge Temple's family of this unknown youth, whose sudden elevation excited no surprise in that changeful country. He attended strictly and earnestly to his duties during the day, but his nights were often spent in the hut of Leather-Stocking, the intercourse between the three hunters being maintained with a certain air of mystery, but with much zeal and apparent interest to all parties. While Natty and the Mohegan seldom came to the mansion-house, Edwards sought every leisure moment to visit his old abode, from which he would often return in the gloomy hours of night, through the snow, or, if detained late, with the morning sun.
"It is not at all remarkable," said Richard; "a half-breed can never be weaned from savage ways; and for one of his lineage, the boy is much nearer civilization than could be expected."
Elizabeth had a friend in Louisa Grant, the daughter of the Rev. Mr. Grant, the rector of the church in the village. One day the two met Edwards as they were ascending the hill. As the young man had now been an inmate of the house about five months, a certain degree of intimacy had sprung up between him and Elizabeth.
"Your father is not pleased that you should walk unattended in the hills, Miss Temple. If I might offer myself as a protector—"
"Does my father select Mr. Oliver Edwards as the organ of his displeasure?" interrupted the lady.
"Good Heavens! you misunderstand my meaning; I should have said `uneasy' for `not pleased.' I am his servant, madam, and yours. With your consent, I will keep nigh you on the mountain."
"I thank you, Mr. Edwards; but where there is no danger, no protection is required. We have a body-guard. Here, Brave—Brave!" The dog, a huge mastiff, came to her with a stately gait, and the two resumed their walk.
"I am afraid, Elizabeth," said Louisa, looking back, "that we have mortified Oliver. He is still standing where we left him. Perhaps he thinks us proud."
"He thinks justly," said Miss Temple. "We are too proud to admit of such attentions from a young man in an equivocal position. I would give much, Louisa, to know all that those rude logs have heard and witnessed." They were both looking at Natty Bumppo's hut at the instant.
"I am sure," replied Lousia, "they would tell nothing to the disadvantage of Mr. Edwards."
"Perhaps not; but they might at least tell who he is."
"Why, dear Miss Temple, we know that already. Your cousin Richard says the kings of England used to keep gentle-men as agents among the Indians, and that they frequently sent their children to England and even to colleges to be educated. This is the way he accounts for the liberal manner in which Mr. Edwards has been taught."
"Mr. Richard Jones, dear, has a theory for everything; but has he one to explain the reason why that hut is the only habitation within fifty miles of us whose door is not open to every person who may choose to lift its latch?"
"I have never heard him say anything on the subject," replied Louisa; "but I suppose that, as they are poor, they are anxious to keep the little that they honestly own."
The two went on alone up the mountain, and were attacked by a painter or panther, which, in defense of her cub, killed old Brave, and was about to spring on the nearly unconscious girls when killed by a shot from Leather-Stocking's rifle.
At the same time that his daughter was walking with Louisa up the mountain, Judge Temple was riding with the sheriff, Richard Jones, in search of a mine which the latter believed to exist on its slope. Richard, fertile in theories, had assumed that there was some latent reason for the coming of Indian John and Oliver Edwards to the hut of Natty Bumppo, and for the evident secrecy in regard to the cabin.
"I have seen Mohegan and Leather-Stocking, with my own eyes, going up and coming down the mountain with spades and picks; and others have seen them carrying things into their hut after dark in a secret and mysterious manner. Mr. Edwards then appears. The frosts prevent their digging, and he avails himself of a lucky accident to get into good quarters. But even now he is quite half his time in that hut many hours every night. They are smelting, Duke, they are smelting."
"Richard," said the Judge, "there are many reasons against the truth of thy conjectures; but thou hast awakened suspicions which must be satisfied. Where is it they have been digging? I must know the reasons of their making an excavation on my land."
" We'll be safe in visiting it," said Richard, "as they are all on the lake fishing. Come this way."
They had dismounted and fastened their horses. Judge Temple followed the sheriff up a steep path to a sort of natural opening in the hillside, in front of which lay a pile of earth, some of it fresh. On entering they found an excavation some twenty feet wide and nearly twice that distance in depth, the roof being a natural stratum of rock. Looking near by in the bushes, the sheriff found the tools that had been used in the work.
" Judge Temple, are you satisfied?"
"Perfectly, that there is something mysterious and perplexing in this business; yet I see no signs of ore."
The Judge took an accurate survey of the place, so as to be able to find it again, and the two returned to their horses. They separated when they reached the road to the valley, and the Judge soliloquized as he dropped his reins and let his horse pick his way down:
"There may be more in this than I supposed. I have suffered my feeling to blind my reason, in admitting an unknown youth into my dwelling. I will have Leather-Stocking before me, and extract the truth by a few plain questions."
Just then he caught a glimpse of Elizabeth and Louisa descending the mountain path, and riding up to them he dismounted and joined them. Their vivid description of their encounter with the panther put all thoughts of mines and excavations out of his head; and Leather-Stocking was brought once more to his recollection, not as a lawless squatter, but as the preserver of his child.
When they arrived at the house, Judge Temple found Hiram Doolittle awaiting him, to get a search-warrant to ex-amine the cabin of Natty Bumppo, who was suspected of having killed a deer out of season.
"Thou art a magistrate, Mr. Doolittle; issue the warrant thyself. Why trouble me with it?"
"Why, it's the first complaint under the law, and as you have set your heart on enforcing it, I thought it best that the authority should come from you."
"Well, go into my office," said the Judge, perceiving that his reputation for impartiality was at stake; "I will join you and sign the warrant."
"It is more terrific in sound than in reality," he explained to Elizabeth, who was about to remonstrate. "It will be only to examine his cabin and find the animal, when you can pay the penalty out of your own pocket, Bess."
But when Hiram went with others to the hut of Leather-Stocking, the old hunter met them rifle in hand, and refused them admission; and when Hiram persisted and put his foot on the threshold, Natty hurled him twenty feet down the bank.
This made Leather-Stocking amenable to a charge of assaulting a magistrate in the discharge of his duty. Judge Temple, indignant at this, said to his daughter:
"Our plans are defeated. The obstinacy of Leather-Stocking has brought down the indignation of the law on his head, and it is now out of my power to avert it. When he appears before me, as his judge, he shall find that his former conduct shall not aggravate any more than his services shall extenuate his crime."
The result was that Leather-Stocking was cast into jail, from which Edwards released him. Elizabeth, who had called at the prison to press money on the old man, was unsuccessful in inducing him to accept it, but promised to meet him the following day at noon on top of the mountain with a can of the best gunpowder.
At the appointed time Elizabeth and Louisa set out to carry the can up the mountain; but when they reached the bridge Louisa declared that she was not equal to going on the hill where they had so lately had so terrible an adventure. Elizabeth stood a moment in deep reflection, then, shaking off her irresolution, determined to keep her promise if she had to go alone. Bidding Louisa wait for her at the edge of the wood, she hastened up the hill and soon stood on a cleared space on the summit, which commanded a view of the village. There she found John Mohegan, the Indian, seated on the trunk of a fallen oak. He was in full panoply of paint and feathers, as if dressed for some great occasion, and his eyes were fixed and solemn.
"Where is Leather-Stocking, John? I have brought him this canister of powder. Will you take charge of it for him?"
As the old Indian raised his head and took the canister, Miss Temple suddenly became conscious of volumes of smoke over their heads, whirling in eddies and intercepting the view.
"What means it, John?" she cried. "I feel a heat like the glow of a furnace."
Before the Indian could reply, a voice shouted in the woods: "Where are you, old Mohegan? The woods are on fire!"
Oliver Edwards appeared the next instant. "Miss Temple!" he exclaimed. "You here! Come instantly—this way!"
"Shall we leave the Indian?" she asked.
"Do not regard him. He is used to such scenes. Hasten; Miss Temple. Fly ! the struggle is for life."
They sought every means of escape, but in vain. The whole surrounding mountain seemed enveloped in flame and smoke. Elizabeth, nearly overcome, said: "Leave me, Ed-wards. Tell my father—my poor, bereaved father—"
"Leave you!" exclaimed Edwards. "Oh, Miss Temple, how little you have known me! No, no, dearest Elizabeth, I may die with you, but I can never leave you!"
"Gal, where be ye, gal!" shouted a voice, and Leather-Stocking rushed on to the terrace, his deerskin cap gone, and his hair burnt. "Follow me! It's a matter of life and death for us all!"
Natty tried to arouse the Indian, but he refused to stir. "The Great Spirit says, 'Come!' Let Mohegan die!"
Deerslayer, seeing that it was useless to say more, hastily threw the chief on his back and led the way through an opening in the rocks to a terrace below, while Edwards, enveloping Miss Temple in Natty's deerskin, followed until they reached a place where they could breathe freely. Natty placed the Indian on the ground, and Elizabeth sank down, her heart swelling with conflicting emotions.
"I feel too much for words," she said, raising her beaming eyes to Edwards's face. "I am grateful, Oliver, for this miraculous escape; and, next to my God, to you."
The little platform on which they rested was hard by the cave which Judge Temple and the sheriff had visited a few days before. The body of Chingachgook, who died soon after he reached a place of safety, was carried into it; and this furnished a sufficient reason for not inviting Miss Temple to take shelter within though rain began to fall. When she was sufficiently recovered, Oliver conducted her down to the road where the voices of men in search of her were heard. Before parting, Oliver found opportunity to say, in a fervent manner which she was at no loss to understand :
"The moment of concealment is over, Miss Temple. By this time to-morrow I shall remove a veil that it has perhaps been my weakness to keep around me and my affairs so long.
God bless you! I hear your father's voice coming up the road. Thank Heaven, you are safe again!" He sprang into the woods without waiting for an answer; and the next minute she was clasped in her father's arms.
Edwards was true to his word. On the following day the sheriff with a posse comitatus went up the mountain prepared to arrest Natty and those who had abetted his escape from prison. Leather-Stocking was ready to defend the entrance with his rifle against the noisy crowd, when Judge Temple arrived on the ground, and soon restored peace. As soon as quiet was gained, Edwards and another bore out of the cave the figure of an aged man seated in a chair, whom they set down carefully in the midst of the assembly. His clothes, of fine material, were threadbare and patched, and his feet were covered with Indian moccasins. Long snow-white locks fell over a grave and dignified face, but his vacant eye, which turned from one to another of the bystanders, too surely announced the mental imbecility of childhood. A faint smile crossed his wasted face as he said, in tremulous tones:
"Be pleased to be seated, gentlemen; I pray you, be seated. The troops shall halt for the night."
"Who is this man?" asked Marmaduke in a hurried voice.
"This man," returned Edward calmly, "whom you behold hid in huts and caverns and deprived of everything that can make life desirable, was once the companion and counselor of those who ruled your country, and the owner of great riches; this man, Judge Temple, was the rightful proprietor of the soil on which we stand. This man was the father of—"
"This, then," cried Marmaduke with emotion, "is the lost Major Effingham! And you? and you?"
"I am his grandson."
A minute passed in silence. Then Marmaduke grasped the hand of the youth and said:
"Oliver, I forgive all thy harshness—all thy suspicions. I now see it all. I forgive thee everything but suffering this aged man to dwell in such a place, when not only my habitation, but my fortune, were at his and thy command."
The mystery of Natty's cabin and its inmates was easily explained. Natty Bumppo had been a servant in the family of Major Effingham, with whom he had served many years in campaigns in the West, where he became attached to the woods; and had been left as a kind of locum tenens on lands that old Mohegan had induced the Delawares to grant the Major when he was admitted an honorary member of the tribe. Major Effingham had been adopted by Chingachgook, then the greatest man in his nation, and given the name of the Eagle, which led to his grandson's being called the Young Eagle, this constituting his only title to Indian blood. Judge Temple had never seen Major Effingham, the father of his friend and secret partner, to whom he was so deeply indebted; and he had always supposed that the latter, as well as his son, had perished by shipwreck in Nova Scotia. Major Effingham had unaccountably disappeared after the war, and Judge Temple had long sought him in vain, little dreaming that he was living so near him in the hut of his old servant, Natty Bumppo. When all was explained and the Judge announced that half his property be-longed justly to Oliver, tears fell from the eyes of the young man as he recognized the good faith of Marmaduke.
"Do you yet doubt us, Oliver?" asked Elizabeth.
"I have never doubted you I" cried he, as he sprang to seize
her hand; "no, not one moment has my faith in you wavered." "And my father—"
"God bless him!"
"I thank thee, my son," said the Judge. "But we have both erred; thou hast been too hasty, and I have been too slow. One half of my estates shall be thine as soon as it can be conveyed to thee; and I suppose the other, if my suspicions prove true, will speedily follow."
With that he united the hand he held with that of Elizabeth.

Who snitched? Muggles tackle beach quidditch
We've seen beach volleyball and beach cricket; this is beach quidditch!

It might sound impossible, but there are some very passionate people bringing JK Rowling's magical broomstick-based sport quidditch to life in Australia - and to our beaches!
The Melbourne Manticores quidditch team took their broomsticks to the coast for summer when they hosted a come-and-try day at Blairgowrie Beach, playing 'kidditch' (a no tackle kid-friendly version of quidditch) with young surf lifesavers and facing the added challenges of running in sand or shallow water.
Katrina Young is a beater and a chaser with the Manticores and says you don't have to be a Potter-maniac to play, but you do need a broomstick.
"The reason for the broomsticks is mostly so it's a one-handed sport.
"Everything you do, including passing the ball, scoring and tackling, is all done one-handed."
A quidditch team consists of one keeper, beaters, chasers and the seeker - the coveted position given to Harry in the books.
But the challenge for the muggle, or non-flying, version of the game is the seeker's role to catch the golden snitch, a walnut-sized, winged golden ball that moves at great speed in all directions.
On the ground, you have to use a sock.
"We have what we call a snitch-runner and they have a pair of shorts that has a Velcro sock attached with a tennis ball in it and that's the snitch.
"The snitch-runner doesn't have any rules except to return to the pitch within an allotted amount of time - usually 15 or 20 minutes.
"They can climb trees, jump in cars and drive away; some of them go to get bagels from the shop and come back and throw them at the players!"
Katrina says quidditch is a very athletic sport and can get a bit rough.
"We were in Oxford [for the quidditch Olympics] and we had a broken jaw bone and a broken collar bone and a broken rib.
"Here we try to keep it a little safer, especially for new people coming to try out; we only do tackling once you've been taught how to tackle and fall correctly."
The teams play with discount store broomsticks unlike their US counterparts.
"[These broomsticks] are lighter and easier to play with; the Americans actually have a whole company that makes their brooms and jerseys and hoops, because they've got about 700 teams over there."
In Australia we have just 25 teams, but the sport is gaining popularity... And rivalries.
"There's a nice rivalry between Melbourne and Cairns, and between the Sydney teams because there are five teams in Sydney.
"But then those outer teams, Cairns, Melbourne and Perth have their own 'outer vs inner' rivalry with the Sydney teams."
You can find out about your local team from the Australian Quidditch Association.

Dacorum Borough Council has been successful in Europe's first court action to prevent a food business operator from processing raw placenta for human consumption.
This website reported last week that Lynnea Shrief has been providing the service from her home in Ridgeway, Berkhamsted, for more than two years
She also set up the Independent Placenta Encapsulation Network (IPEN) to teach others how to do it. There are now more than 100 members of the group worldwide.
The business became so popular that in October, Lynnea says she was called to Watford General Hospital to give a talk to trainee midwives about it.
But soon afterwards, Dacorum Borough Council's environmental health officers issued two Hygiene Emergency Prohibition Notices to shut down her operation.
The authority says a risk to the public's health from Lynnea's homemade placenta capsules and smoothies was identified before the action in October and December.
After hearing both sides of the argument at Watford Magistrates Court, district judge Annabel Pilling yesterday ratified the notices, granting the council Hygiene Emergency Prohibition Orders on IPEN.
Council portfolio holder for residents and regulatory services Neil Harden said the action was taken to protect the public.
He said: "Our environmental health team inspect and regulate around 1647 food business operators across Dacorum, providing advice and support to ensure they meet strict food hygiene standards. We take court action as a last resort.
"I am pleased that this outcome means that we have set a standard for businesses that deal with raw, processed or cooked placenta."
IPEN process placenta for consumption by mothers after they have given birth for perceived health benefits.
The council applied to the court for the prohibition orders after it was found that the business was not following the Food Hygiene (England) Regulations 2006.
The first Hygiene Emergency Prohibition Order granted was to prohibit the use of raw placenta in foods for human consumption. The second was to prohibit the use of cooked placenta in foods for human consumption.
If any other businesses in the area are providing human placenta products, they should contact Dacorum Borough Council's environmental health team on 01442 228000.
Although IPEN is the only known food business trading within Dacorum that deals with human placenta, the case could set a legal precedent for other councils that have similar businesses trading in their area.
Those considering purchasing services dealing with human placenta should check with their council's environmental health team that they are produced safely and the business is checked for food hygiene purposes.

Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf has no interest in talking about rumours, especially the Roberto Luongo-to-Toronto talk that won't go away.
But Phaneuf seems to be on the same page as coach Randy Carlyle when it comes to the state of the team's goaltending. They both think James Reimer and Ben Scrivens can do the job.
Reimer has been on the ice at the MasterCard Centre the past two days practising with about a dozen of his teammates, along with numerous players from other NHL teams, in preparation for this weekend's start of training camp.
As the Marlies' No. 1 goalie, Scrivens is already in mid-season form, backstopping the team to first place in the AHL's Western Conference. But he won't be making the trip to Newfoundland with the Marlies for their two weekend games in St. John's.
Even if Leafs GM Brian Burke obtains Luongo from the Vancouver Canucks in time for training camp, Scrivens will still be at the team's camp, challenging Reimer for the job as Luongo's backup.
"We are confident in our goalies. Scrivens has been playing well and Reimer has looked good (in unofficial practice this week)," Phaneuf said Tuesday after the skate and scrimmage. "Right now those are the guys that we have. . . .
"The biggest thing with rumours is that they're rumours. Right now our focus is getting better as a team and starting good as team and we have confidence in our goalies."
Reimer was 14-14-7 with a 3.10 goals-against average in an injury-filled 2011-12 after posting an impressive 20-10-5 record the previous season, when he became Toronto's No. 1 goalie.
Toronto got off to a solid start last season but the wheels fell off dramatically in mid-campaign and the Leafs missed the playoffs for the seventh straight season. Carlyle replaced Ron Wilson behind the bench and although he couldn't get the team to the post-season, Phaneuf believes he laid a foundation that will carry them into this shortened season.
"As soon as (Carlyle) got here, he implemented (a system) that we were going to tighten things up," Phaneuf said. "We know that's the style we're going to have to play. We're not taking away from the offensive side of our game. But we're going to have to be good defensively on 200 feet of ice. And with that we'll hopefully have the puck more and that turns into better offence.
"It was good that he was here to implement that stuff last year and have some time to work with the team. But it's going to be a short camp and we're going to have to put our system in place early."
Phaneuf also doesn't see any point in dwelling on how last season ended. The Leafs won just seven of their last 29 games.
Carlyle won six of the 18 games he coached after Wilson was sacked as Toronto finished with a 35-37-10 record.
"All teams start with zeros across the board and start with the same goal in mind and we're no different. Last year is in the past. We're going to have to definitely learn from it," Phaneuf said. "The biggest thing is that we have to be consistent throughout the full season. Right now we're not focused on last year. We're focused on getting off on the right foot. It's a short year and we're going to have to be good early.
"It's going to be a short camp and then right into the games so guys are trying to get as ready as possible and keep ramping it up through a short camp. I imagine the pace of play will be quick. But the guys are well rested."
Besides Scrivens, Marlies forward Matt Frattin is also expected to be at training camp. A few other Marlies could get a look as well although Carlyle only intends to have about 30 players in camp.

Vitascope Hall
623 Canal Street,
New Orleans,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Vitascope Hall was opened on July 26, 1896. It was said to be the 'world's first permanent for-profit movie theatre'.
Recent comments (view all 3 comments)
was the original Vitascope Hall of 1896 built from the ground up with the sole intent of showing flickers or was it simple a already existing retail space redone as a movie theater?
It was a store room that William T Rock (who later became the President of the Vitagraph Company of America)hired to exhibit his Edison Vitascope, having bought the state rights for Louisiana while living and working in New York, but only because it was the only one left. He and his partner Walter Wainwright installed chairs and a projection booth and using some films he had brought with him from New York set it up as a showroom, packing them in from July to October.
In the fall of 1897 they returned to New York, having made a profit of approx $2,000 each and having sold half of their now stock of 600 films to some people in Texas for a lot of diamonds. Once back in New York they eventually set up the Vitagraph Company and became the leading exhibiting company in the country.

For CharmaineZoe. We at the University of New Orleans Nims Center Studio (nimscenter.com) have inherited a fairly large collection of pre-cinema optical devices many of which led to the birth of the movies. I am currently preparing an ongoing project to establish a permanent interactive exhibit of the pieces. I would be interested in talking to you about this project since you have knowledge of the New Orleans Vitascope Hall.

I've not worked in Carlton since they moved to a prominent place on Lygon St with baked goods available every day and a huge range of other foods. There's duck and venison pies too, and many filled baguettes.
I love the pate and cornichon baguette. Fortunately, there's more to Lygon St than pizza. Cooked and bottled in Brunswick, Bear head soup, Ichigo shortcake and Consider the sauce all love La Parisienne too.

Scheduled flight Germany – Lisbon
Lisbon/Portugal, departure 18.00 hrs
Relaxation at sea
Funchal/Madeira, arrival 12.00 hrs
Colourful flora in the Atlantic
It is hard to believe there are so many surprising contrasts on Madeira, Portugal's "island of eternal spring". Setting out from Funchal, a jeep tour of Madeira* will lead you to fishing villages and up to the 1,500 m high Paul da Serra plateau. Alternatively, a levada hike* will take you along the island's famous irrigation system through a stunning landscape. Taking a tukxi through Funchal* – an electric vehicle with open sides – will present life in the tiny alleys from a different perspective. It is also thrilling to explore the island capital at your own pace – for example, in the evening after dining in the on-board restaurant. Stroll along the promenade and mix with the islanders in the cafes. There is plenty of room here – and on the Canary Islands – for individual discoveries.
Funchal, departure 13.00 hrs
Santa Cruz de la Palma/La Palma/Spain, 9.00 – 0.00 hrs
Unknown terrain on a famous archipelago
With their mild climate and wonderful natural surroundings, the Canary Islands are a popular destination, particularly in autumn. But few visitors know the beauty of the three islands on the BREMEN's route. Look forward to their diversity: La Palma, the heavily forested "isla verde"; La Gomera, with its World Natural Heritage Site and unique whistling language; El Hierro, the rugged, tranquil UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The natural spectacles continue when the imposing volcanic landscape welcomes you to La Palma. With its 16th- and 17th-century buildings, the coastal city of Santa Cruz is of great cultural and historic value. Take the opportunity here to explore the old town at your own pace and stroll along the Avenida Maritima with its typical wooden balconies. Nature lovers can take a ride to the Caldera de Taburiente national park* along breathtaking escarpments to one of the world's largest erosion craters. The north of La Palma* is remote and pristine. Small villages invite you to get to know the country and people.
San Sebastian/La Gomera, 7.00 – 0.00 hrs
As an explorer, you will find yourself in famous company in San Sebastian on the island of La Gomera. This is where Columbus set out for America. Your route, however, will take you to Garajonay National Park*, past banana plantations to evergreen laurels and dense ferns. The cloud forest of the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site will let your fantasy take flight: this is also the starting point for a hike through the El Cedro rainforest*, one of the oldest in the world.
Puerto de la Estaca/El Hierro, 7.00 – 18.00 hrs
The grand forces of nature have even shaped El Hierro, the smallest of the Canary Islands. Away from the tourist routes, the BREMEN will help you to discover an unspoilt landscape with steep rocky coasts and expansive pine forests. A hike to the Arbol del Garoe*, the sacred tree, follows in the footsteps of the native inhabitants. According to legend, the moisture of the clouds was caught in its crown and supplied the people with water – a tale depicted in the island's coat of arms. A symbol of the unending sky and sea, the blue flag of Cape Verde waves to you in greeting.
Relaxation at sea
Cape Verde
(Sao Vicente, Santo Antao, Sao Nicolao )
Africa's picturesque outpost
A sea full of contrasts awaits you on Cape Verde. Gentle bays, fine beaches, desert landscapes, magnificent mountains and lush forests bid you welcome. Around 350 days of sun per year will shed a special light on features such as the colonial treasures and African joie de vivre on these islands rarely explored by tourists. The cultural capital is Mindelo on Sao Vicente. Along the seafront promenade, at the African market and in the old town, a walking tour of Mindelo* will introduce this melting pot of cultures. Mindelo and Baia das Gatas* provide a fascinating contrast: pure nature, created by elemental forces and demonstrated by the bizarre lava formations in the "bay of cats". Alternatively, you can travel away from paved roads and go off-road* to delve deep inland for spectacular views of mountain massifs and volcanic craters. The untamed natural elements have also given Santo Antao an unmistakeable look. The island of mountains, wind and water is a true hiker's paradise. Travelling on foot through the fertile Paul Valley will bring you particularly close to nature on the pristine island of Santo Antao*. Alternatively, be enveloped by the scent of eucalyptus on a scenic journey* on former trading routes – with insights into the production of the traditional grogue. The seldom-visited island of Sao Nicolao seems virtually untouched. Dragon trees, protected thanks to their valuable resin, line your route. On a hike through a bizarre mountain world*, you will find out how much effort is required to farm the very steep, fertile slopes. Alternatively, enjoy island impressions* that range from high ridges to fertile valleys and picturesquely situated villages. Unforgettable – the wonderful diversity of this cruise during golden October days.

The "Masterpiece Boutique Collection" from Max Factor has recently been given a makeover with all new sleek black and gold packaging, that makes the products feel more expensive than they actually are.
The collection consists of firm industry favourites such as the Masterpiece, Masterpiece Waterproof, Masterpiece MAX Mascaras, Colour Precision Eyeshadows, Kohl Pencils and Eyebrow Pencils. If you are just getting into make-up or want fool-proof products this collection might be the one for you. After all if they are good enough to be adorned on runway shows such as Gucci, Valentino and Victoria Beckham, than they are sure to be good enough for your make-up bag.
Max Factor Masterpiece MAX Mascara (link)*
The Max Factor Masterpiece MAX Mascara is a high-impact, volumising mascara which features a more advanced brush than the ones seen on the classic Masterpiece Mascaras. This allows you to have bolder, sleeker lashes that offer maximum 'wow' power, making it especially perfect for an evening 'look'.
Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara-also available in Waterproof (link)*The Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara is one of the original mascaras from the brand proving to be a cult favourite among the 'fash/beauty-pack' alike. The gold packaging delivers elegance as well as adding a touch of luxury, to an affordable high-street product. Adding a subtle element of drama to your lashes by evenly coating each lash and separating them, making the product perfect for everyday wear.
If I was to compare the Max Factor Masterpiece MAX Mascara and Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara, side by side. In all honestly I do love both as they are extremely long-wearing, don't flake off during the day and are easy to remove. Yet I have fallen in love with the "Masterpiece MAX", as a self-proclaimed lover of the 60s I find this product to be perfect in allowing me to achieve those Twiggy-esque spidery lashes. Despite this whenever I want to keep my make-up natural but still polished the Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara is perfect for doing just that.
Below are the photos from two other mascaras from the collection: the Max Factor Masterpiece Transform Mascara and the Max Factor Masterpiece Glamour Extensions 3-in-1 Mascara. Both of which I have previously reviewed on the blog, and again are both exceptionally high quality products which I have been my firm make-up bag favourites.

Max Factor Masterpiece Glamour Extensions 3-in-1 Mascara (link)* Full Blog Post Review Link
Max Factor Kohl Liner in "Black" and "Brown"-2nd and 3rd swatch from left (link)* // Eyebrow Pencil in "Hazel"-1st swatch from left (link)*
The Max Factor Kohl Liner's are a new favourite of mine from the collection. As a liquid liner enthusiasts I tend to steer away from the classic kohl liners, as I have never found one that stays put on either my lids and waterline throughout the day, without coming home to see I've turned into a panda eye mess. Despite this I was intrigued to see whether these would live up to my high-liner-expectations and keep the 'panda-eye' at bay. With that being said they have.
First off they are extremely pigmented and blend-able, with the need for only one sweep across the waterline and lid to add definition to your eyes. I always use to find that if I type-lined my waterline with any eyeliner the product would either wear off immediately, or smudge down my lower lash line (in an unintentional/non-attractive way). Yet I am still to experience this 'occurrence' from happening with these liners *score*.
Another product from the collection is their Eyebrow Pencil in Hazel. When it comes to my brows I tend to skip the whole process, as to be honest my fringe hides a large majority of them. However I am always on the look-out for a product that defines them subtly, without looking like they have been heavily drawn on. As I naturally have quite thick, dark-ish brows I have found this pencil to be perfect in 'neaten' them up a little-filling in the gaps if you like. Making the product ideal for those who want to steer clear from the 'scouse-brow' look.
Max Factor Colour Precision Eye Shadow in (from left-to-right on hand swatches) "Stardust", "Pearl Beige", "Golden Green", "Icicle Rose" and "Coffee" (link)*Finally the last piece of the collection are formed of these creamy, shimmery eyeshadows which are a dream to blend. When it comes to eyeshadow, you've probably noticed that I hardly ever wear it. There is really no one answer to why, but I am sure one reason is down to pure lazy-ness.
However I may be a eyeshadow convert, after giving these a whirl. Besides being a 'dream to blend' these shadows are extremely long-lasting and easy to apply, within a matter of seconds. For the look below I used the shades "Pearl Beige"-which is a perfect highlighting shade, that I applied all over the lid, blending up onto the brow bone. Then defined my crease with the shade "Coffee", and blended around the socket with my fingers for a natural shadow look. I still cannot get over how easy they are to use, as I literally used no brushes except from my fingers to blend the product in. Making them perfect for lazy eyeshadow users like me.
It is fair to say this collection is definitely worth a look at, especially if you are on the look out for products to become a (much-loved) staple in your make-up bag.

Choker Necklace
I cannot believe it has been a week since my last post, but with uni work and deadlines coming all in the space of a week. To say the past couple of days have been hectic, would be an understatement. However now that deadlines and uni work are a thing of the past (for the time being that is) I can now get back in into the (blogging) swing of things.
I have been longing to own a choker necklace ever since they came under my radar a couple of months back, but never really got round to purchasing one myself. That is until I recently popped into my local primark and spotted to this one for a mere £2 , plus it came with another string charm version. So obviously I had to buy all the colours/combinations that were on offer, including a pale pink version-how could I resist! Outfit wise I have been wearing a lot of all-black outfits as of late-something I never thought I would hear myself say. But there's something that looks so effortless about wearing this colour in block, that I've beginning to fall in love with wearing more outfits like it.

Fifi Lapin
With spring in mind I thought it was about time that I switched up for my phone case. So when Iconemesis contacted me to see if I wanted to do just that I couldn't help but jump at the chance. I am in love with this Fifi Lapin Rabbit case, from the brand, as there is something so adorable about the illustrations of the 'fashionista bunny'. Plus they are also having a huge 50% off sale on, on all 5/5s cases, at the moment. So if you see a phone case that takes your fancy, now is the time to get your hands on one.

50s Heels
There are those items in your wardrobe that are simply too beautiful to wear on a daily basis, collected as though they are your very own pieces of art, part of a collection that you cherish. For me there are those certain pairs of shoes (and accessories) that fit under the 'piece of art' category, that you own and display with pride.
These heels from Babycham are a beautifully crafted pair of shoes that make you feel as though you have stepped back in time, and re-invented yourself into a 50s siren-think Sandy from Grease ("pre-transformation"). They are their very own pieces of art, that had me mesmerised as soon as I lifted the lid off of the shoe box. The sky blue lace is something that immediately drew me to them and as a (self-proclaimed) lover of pastels I couldn't help but dream up all the pastel-esque outfits, I could pair them with. If you too want to channel your very own 50s siren, or want to drool over their (too beautiful for words) pairs of shoes, then definitely take a look at their website here!

Veterans in focus
A Salute to Veterans - Thank You for Liberty!
Today we stop and give thanks for all those who have served the nation in uniform, protecting the freedoms we hold so dear. Some gave the ultimate sacrifice of their lives in order to ensure that we have the life we so proudly proclaim and was evidenced earlier this week with the general election where not by coup, but by ordinary Americans being able to pick and choose their leaders.
The ability to vote, the ability to choose, the ability to speak our minds, the ability to worship or not worship, the ability to write these words without fear, the ability to work, to succeed, to fail, to rise above our circumstances, all of this we owe to those men and women who fought for peace, justice and freedom. None of our liberties came without cost and thus we owe a debt to each of our veterans and to those who still serve.
Now on a more personal note:
In those dark days following the sneak attack by the Imperial Japanese Navy on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, four brothers from Nashville, Brown County, Indiana lined up at the recruiting office and joined the US Navy. These four brothers went off to save the world for democracy both in the European Theater and in the Pacific. Three made it back home at the close of World War II. The one who didn't return was my Uncle Hobert. My grandfather and his other two brothers came home, but changed, never to be the same.
My step-father, a fresh-faced kid from Sullivan County, Indiana didn't wait to be drafted. He went to the recruiting office and signed up to be a soldier for Uncle Sam. He survived, though wounded once, three tours in Viet Nam. He remained in the US Army to retire after 20 years as an E-8 First Sergeant.
My grandfather's only son, my uncle, later followed in his father's footsteps and sailed off on the ocean blue with the Navy. He served around the world, then came home.
All of these veterans within my own family are now gone, but not forgotten. Their service made it possible for me to join the US Air Force in 1976. My time was spent at Grissom AFB, right here in the Cornfield. It also allowed my step-brother a few years later to join the US Army. Unfortunately, we lost him in a drunk driving incident after he did his duty and was home.
The sacrifice of my grandfather, great-uncles and step-father also allowed all of us to still be living in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
That is why I am always appreciative of those who choose to serve in our military. That is why I always have an empathy and a connection to the families left behind to keep the home fires burning to shine the light to lead our service members home.
Today, we celebrate not just the veterans of that long ago war that was to be the war to end all wars, but the holiday has evolved to celebrate and to show appreciation for all who have served our great nation and those who continue to serve.
From the Cornfield, veterans, I salute you and thank you!
