Hutchinson presided at these meetings, sitting with great state and dignity in Grandfather's chair.
Grandfather's Chair by Hawthorne, Nathaniel View in context
This rose-bush, by a strange chance, has been kept alive in history; but whether it had merely survived out of the stern old wilderness, so long after the fall of the gigantic pines and oaks that originally overshadowed it, or whether, as there is far authority for believing, it had sprung up under the footsteps of the sainted Ann Hutchinson as she entered the prison-door, we shall not take upon us to determine.
The Scarlet Letter by Hawthorne, Nathaniel View in context
Following the mimic representative of Hutchinson came a military figure, holding before his face the cocked hat which he had taken from his powdered head; but his epaulettes and other insignia of rank were those of a general officer, and something in his mien reminded the beholders of one who had recently been master of the Province House, and chief of all the land.
From Twice Told Tales by Hawthorne, Nathaniel View in context
