Excerpt from Waiting for Tidings, Vol. 1 The late Churchill Cressingham, of Rawlstone Hall, in the county of Suffolk, had married the sister of Theodore Halton, of the city of London, and of Murchison Square, W., LL.D., F.R.S., F.R.G.S., and member of half-a-dozen learned societies in Paris and London besides; and of John Halton, of Creswick Gardens, partner with Theodore in business, and by far the best business man of the two. John Halton married his cousin, and had no children, which was a great satisfaction to him, as he liked quiet, and hated all moral responsibilities. Theodore had five or six olive branches, of whom, three survived to the age for systematic intellectual training.
