Excerpt from Daireen, Vol. 1 of 2 'Yes, my sonn, ye've forgotten the blood of yer anshint soires. Ye for-git, my sonn, that ye're th' offspring of the MacDermots and the O'Dermots, kings of Munster in the days whin there was kings, and whin the Geralds was walkin' about in blue paint in the woods of the adjacent bar-barious island of Britain. Think of that, my sonn.' ' The Geralds have been at Suanmara for four hundred years, ' said Standish quickly and in the tone of one resenting an aspersion. 'Four hunderd years!' cried The Mac-Dermot scornfully. 'Fourhundcrd years! What's four hunderd years in the existence of a fam'ly?' The MacDermot felt that this was the exact instant for him to rise grandly to his feet, so once more he made the essay, but without a satisfactory result.

Themes in French Culture
Author: Rhoda Métraux
Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 9781571818133
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
Margaret Mead collaborated with her long-time colleague Rhoda Métraux in this unique study of French culture. The Hoover Institute at Stanford University originally published this volume, which grew out of the Columbia University project on Research of Contemporary Cultures in 1954. It is one of the few works by American social scientists dealing with broad themes of French life. Mead and Métraux present a vivid picture of the French starting with the organization of the house and its architecture, and drawing original conclusions for the structure of French families and overall cultural values. This work, long out of print, is a fascinating and penetrating portrait of a contemporary European society.
