There were happy bits and not so happy bits. And the names of the people mentioned provoked different moods in my mother; she spoke of some with a smile on her face, while others produced a look of deep hurt in her dark eyes. When she spoke of her darling Papa, her eyes sparkled and she smiled a lot. I grew up with my own vision of this big man with a marvellous voice who could paint and sculpt all manner of things and who took her everywhere with him when she was small. He was her guiding light and kept her safe from harm as much as possible. However, any mention of her mother, Emma, would have the opposite effect and her face would darken. There was little or no relationship between the two of them for several decades. My mother grew up feeling Emma had abandoned her and did not love her. My original aim in writing this book was to address this misconception on my mother’s part, one that remained with her for many years. In seeking to describe and explain Emma’s behaviour, I hoped my mother would come to realise that she had indeed been loved, but had simply been the victim of cruel circumstance – and that her own mother had suffered too. The title of the book refers to the difficult and adventurous life journey of Emma Boella (née Miller), who was, of course, my grandmother. The tale follows the choices she made and the trouble that resulted, both for herself and others. My version of Emma’s life is based in part on conversations I have had with family members who knew her, particularly her sister Rosa. However, there are many gaps in the factual thread, and Emma is now long dead. In which case, I have had to build the narrative by inventing various circumstances and imagining how she might have reacted, based on 4 what I know of her personality. To a large extent, I have imagined her reactions based on what I feel I might have said and done in her difficult shoes. The major characters in this book really existed, but some of the minor parts, such as gardeners, maids and family friends, have been invented. While some of the places and surroundings have been made up, others are based on accounts I heard from my mother when I was small. She really did ride on the back of Jack, the big St Bernard, and the children did play on the wooded hillsides near Torino when she was only just old enough to remember. I have tried to be fair and faithful in my accounts of family members, particularly those who are still alive or are well remembered. However, inevitably, I may have made errors here and there, for which I apologise. This book covers four generations of the family over the space of almost one hundred years, with events taking place in three countries: Malta, Italy and England. I hope that further generations of the family might get some idea of what their recent ancestors got up to and the struggles they faced. Needless to say, telling such a grand tale has been a mammoth task, and it could not have been completed without the assistance of my nephew David, who organized my files, edited my text and filled the many gaps with words of his own. In the process, he has cracked the whip mercilessly to ensure that I finally finish the book. As I write, I have just celebrated my 80th birthday, an event that coincided with completing the manuscript for this book. While it has been a fascinating journey, I must say I’m happy it’s finished! Now, time to get on with the next one… Joan Sidnell Teynham, Kent August 2014 5 FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHS Emma Miller in her youth Giovanni Boella with brush and easel 6 Emma’s father Giuseppe Miller Joan Sidnell as a little girl 7 Joan Sidnell with her mother Iris Whatton 8 CHAPTER 1 A CHANCE ENCOUNTER (1904) Emma Miller grew up in a big old house in one corner of a square overlooking Marsamxett Harbour in the ancient city of Valletta. Today it is known as Independence Square, in honour of Malta’s independence from British rule. However, in the early years of the 20th Century, when Grandmama Emma was still a school girl, it was called something quite different, for the British were still very much in charge. Next to Emma’s home was the Anglican Cathedral of St Paul, with its tall spire and Ionic columns, a building frequented by British soldiers and sailors garrisoned on the island. Aside from the church visitors on Sundays, the square was mostly quiet and pleasant. A few trees offered shade in the middle, under which the old folk would sometimes sit and chat; carriages would occasionally rumble over the stones, bearing passengers on their way; but otherwise, nothing much ever happened. To say the house overlooked the harbour is a bit of an exaggeration, since it was only from the upper floors that anyone could see across the square and down the flight of stone steps to the seafront. The harbour was the smaller sister of the Great Harbour on the other side of Valletta, but it was still busy enough. There were boats of all sizes, coming and going, from cargo vessels breaking their voyage across the Mediterranean, to brightly-painted fishing boats that bobbed on the water like corks. British naval vessels were a common sight too, making the most of Malta’s strategic location between three continents. Across the bay’s sparkling water, one could see the island of Manoelo with its fortress and cannons ready to repel invaders. Anyone standing on Manoelo and looking back at 9 Valletta would have seen equally imposing fortified walls running down to the water’s edge, and behind them banks of shops and houses built from sand-coloured local stone, with green wooden shutters in the Continental style. The spire from the Anglican Cathedral marked Independence Square, and behind it stood the large silver dome of the Carmelite church. Lined up along the seafront were horse-drawn carretta’s, their black hoods providing protection from the strong sunshine. In the relative cool of evening, couples, old and young, would stroll along by the harbour walls to the sound of lapping waves. By early 1904, at the age of 18, Emma found herself the eldest of four children, three girls and a boy, overseen by two conscientious and highly respectable Maltese parents, Alessandrina and Giuseppe. The mother was from the Tagliaferro banking family, a fact that lent her impeccable social credentials. The family was originally from Italy and had built a large shipping business in the Mediterranean and Black Sea, with several prominent members acting as consuls for Rome, for which they were created counts by the Pope. The branch that settled in Malta eventually set up the Tagliaferro Bank and built several churches in Valletta and nearby Sliema.

  • Projected Economic Growth in North & East Regions Will Be 13 Per Cent
    Published in Canada by The Times of Sri Lanka Vol.9 JUNE 2011 Projected economic growth in North & East regions will be 13 per cent over five years The economy of Sri Lanka’s once war-torn Northern and Eastern provinces are set to grow by around 13 percent per annum from 2011 onwards for the next five years, according to the Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL). CBSL Governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal (inset) made these remarks in delivering the 60th Anniversary Oration of the CBSL a fortnight ago, on the topic of ‘Promoting financial inclusiveness – The experience of the past two years’. “There is a clear drive towards holistic development in the North and East to ensure that people sustain their economic achievements and translate them into a way of life. We expect that the range of investments made in these provinces will result in a growth rate of around 13 percent per annum in these provinces, from 2011 onwards for the next five years,” Cabraal said. According to the Governor, it has been encouraging to see that the Northern Province (NP) had recorded the highest nominal growth rate of 14% in 2009 ahead of all other Provinces although on a low base. The contribution to the country’s GDP by the NP increased to 3.3% in 2009 from 2.8% in 2006. The Eastern Province on the other hand recorded the second-highest nominal growth rate of all provinces, at 14% in 2009 while its contribution to the country’s GDP increased to 5.8% in 2009 from 4.9% in 2006.

  • Jane Frank Allinson, Ph.D. the University of Connecticut, 1981 Fabliaux Ace Short Narrative Poems Written in England and in Fran
    THE FABLIAU IN MEDIEVAL ENGLAND Jane Frank Allinson, Ph.D. The University of Connecticut, 1981 Fabliaux ace short narrative poems written in England and in France during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. In England they were composed in Anglo-Norman and in English verse. The Anglo-Norman fabliaux have received little critical attention. This dissertation establishes a corpus of nine Anglo-Norman fabliaux: Romaunz de un chiyaler et de sa dame et de un clere, Lai du Corn, Les .1111. souhais saint Martin, Le heron. De .III. dames, De le chevalgr e la corbaylle. La qaqeure, Le chevalier gui fist parier les cons, and La housse partie. Seven of the nine stories have continental fabliau analogues. A comparison between these insular and continental fabliaux indicates that insular stories consistently eliminated obscenity, elevated the social level of the characters, presented a more cordial relationship between the sexes and were less anti-feminine than their continental counterparts. Anglo-Norman fabliaux consistently introduced motifs from courtly literature. A corpus of seven English verse fabliaux was established: Dame Sirith, A Penniworth of Witte, and five stories from Jane Allinson — The University of Connecticut, 1981 Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales: The Miller's Tale, The ESSYS's Tale, The Friar's Tale, The Surrmoner' s Tale and The ShiEEDSD r§ These stories were discussed in terms of the characteristics of Anglo-Norman and continental French fabliaux. The examination indicated that fabliaux written in English verse incorporated fewer noble and more bourgeois characters than those composed in Anglo-Norman. English fabliaux were similar to the insular corpus in their relative lack of violence and anti-feminism.

[All rights reserved.] 159. I. HP. PRINTED BY BALLANTYNE AND COMPANY EDINBURGH AND LONDON PREFACE TO THE ENGLISH PROTESTANT EDITION. Some apology is perhaps needed when a Protestant thus brings before Protestant readers the works of a consistent Roman Catholic author. The plea must be, that the doctrine and experience described are essentially Protestant ; and so far from their receiving the assent of the Roman Catholic Church, their author was persecuted for holding and disseminating them. Of the experience of Madame Guyon, it should be borne in mind, that though the glorious heights of communion with God to which she attained may be scaled by the feeblest of God's chosen ones, yet it is by no means necessary that they should be reached by the same apparently arduous and protracted path along which she was led. The " Torrents " especially needs to be regarded rather as an account of the personal experience of the author, than as the plan which God invariably, or even usually, adopts in bringing the soul into a state of union with Himself.
