[Jeu] Chasse au Thornton

Raaah, ça y est, je suis noyée sous les Thornton et les thorntones* , j'ai déjà trois jours de retard... Vous êtes trop trop fort(e)s, vaillant(e)s chasse(u)r(esse)s !

Promis, je mets à jour le tableau de chasse ce soir où alors vous serez autorisées à sonner mon hallali ou de m'obliger à chanter "dans le grand lit de John Thornton, nous étions quatre-vingt chasseuses" sur l'air de Dancing Queen, en costume de chasse

April, j'attends un parfait résultat de ta science robinhoodienne.

LYN, je vois que les extrême-sudouestistes que nous sommes Ekat, toi et moi, ne pensent qu'à leur estomac...

Fée Clochette belle prise artistique.

Clinchamps, je me demandais qui allait ramener Billy Bob dans ses filets.

Archi, magnifique image d'un John Thornton "anonyme" pétant de santé.

Cat, voilà un thornton proche de ses origines, qui en plus apprécie la culture. Manquerait plus qu'il s'appelle John. Jolie prise.

* si on admet les femmes en plus, je ne vais jamais y arriver

EDIT: je ne chanterai pas mais je peux danser et sauter

J'avais un John T. qui actuellement est versé dans la voyance inscrit sur le net, mais je l'ai perdu, tant pis.

Par contre en essayant de le retrouver, j'ai découvert 12 générations de descendants de John THORNTON né en 1473 dans le Cheshire en Angleterre

jusqu'à atterrir à la douzième génération en Virginie au USA ! et l'arbre généalogique a été fait par une personne, cela ne s'invente pas dont l'adresse est assez incroyable :

J'ai compté [b] 7 John Thornton et à la sixième génération, un de ses descendant le fils de Henry prénommé Henry lui aussi, né en Angleterre meurt en Virginie c'est la 7ème génération. bref, je n'ai pas compté tous les Thorton de John premier du nom.......... c'est trop long.

MissAcacia, si le coeur t'en dit !

Fée Clochette et Scarlett sont décidément nos plus grandes chasseresses... Je m'incline !

Fée clochette a écrit:

*je n'ai pas encore compris comment fonctionnent vos flèches je suis la reine des nullettes en informatique. J'espère que cela ne va pas déformer l'écran, sinon HELP ME

J'ai corrigé. Ca ne déformait pas parce que tu avais pris la peine d'aller à la ligne. Mimidd a fait un tuto mais je ne sais plus où il est. Je m'en vais à sa recherche mais je ne sais pas si c'est pour tout de suite.

Merci de t'être préoccupée de ce point.

Fée Clochette, je ne retrouve plus le tuto dont parle Cat, mais voici ce qu'il faut taper :

[url=ADRESSE INTERNET] SMILEY FLECHE OU AUTRE [/url]


Donc, où j'ai écrit ADRESSE INTERNET, il faut taper le lien du site et où j'ai mis SMILEY FLECHE OU AUTRE, tu peux mettre le smiley que tu veux.

Heu, j'espère que mes explications sont assez claires.

MERCI VRAIMENT ! autre problème, il n'y a plus rien au bout

Fée Clochette, je t'envoie un MP pour répondre à ta question sinon je vais me faire disputer par Cruella d'enfer et son terrible fouet.

Je viens faire mes rattrapages et féliciter Scarlett et Fée Clochette pour leurs captures !
Fée clochette, comment as-tu fait ? Tu as posé de la glu sur les branches pour attraper tous ces petits Thorntons ?

Scarlett, joli coup le Chevalier Thornton, il fallait penser à se mettre en embuscade à la cour du Portugal dans la Revue des Deux Mondes

Je vous inscris au tableau de chasse, où vous faites concurrence à Les Yeux Noirs, qui affiche un beau palmarès...

EDIT: nous avons tout de même trouvé 29 Thornton (en comptant celui de Jack London et sans compter les nichées et les flopées), dont 14 John Thornton... mine que rien.

Génial le classement MissAcacia !
Et dire que je suis une chasseresse de base avec mon seul tout petit !
Bravo à Scarlett et LYN !

Miss Acacia la ville de Thornton, ça compte?? Ville de naissance de Charlotte, Emily, Anne & Branwell..http://www.haworth-village.org.uk/brontes/thornton/thornton.asp

Si on l'a déjà évoqué, je suis mais il est tard et je n'ai pas le courage de rebrousser le topic...

Tu as été plus rapide que moi ! Lady Clare.

Je signale à votre attention, un homme très important, né en Irlande et mort en Amérique du nord. Il s'appelle Matthew Thornton, mais il vaut bien un "John"

Signers of the Declaration of Independence .


Matthew Thornton
1714-1803
Representing New Hampshire at the Continental Congress

by Ole Erekson, Engraver, c1876, Library of Congress
Born: 1714
Birthplace: Ireland
Education: Physician
Work: Appointed surgeon to the New Hampshire Troops, 1745; Member of the Provincial Assembly, 1758-62, ??-1775; Colonel of the Londonderry Militia, Londonderry Town Selectman, 1763-75; Londonderry Committee of Safety, 1775, 76; Speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, Associate Justice of the Superior Court, Delegate to the Continental Congress, 1776.
Died: June 24, 1803
Matthew Thornton was born in Ireland in 1714. His parents emigrated to America when he was three. They first settled at Wiscasset, in Maine, but soon went to Worcester, Massachusetts, where Mathew received an academic education. He became a physician, and in 1745 was appointed surgeon to the New Hampshire troops in the expedition against Louisburg. He later held royal commissions as justice of the peace and colonel of militia. His medical practice was very successful and he acquired much land, becoming a leading member of the community in Londonderry. There he held many local offices while also representing Londonderry at the Provincial Assembly. Thornton eventually became President of that assembly. As a member of a local committee of Safety in 1775, he was asked to draft a plan of government for New Hampshire after dissolution of the royal government. His plan was adopted immediately and became the first constitution for that state (and was in fact the first new state constitution after the start of hostilities with Britain).
Thornton was then selected as the first President of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, and as a justice to the Superior Court, under the new constitution. He was also sent to the Continental Congress-too late to participate in the debates over Independence, but just in time to sign the Declaration on behalf of New Hampshire. He was selected to attend Congress again in 1777, but declined to attend due to poor health. For the rest of his life, Thornton attended to State duties. He also wrote political essays for the newspapers. He died at the age of 89, while on a visit to his daughter in Newburyport, Massachusetts, in 1803.



IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
hen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Oui, oui, Lady Clare, les villes ça marche aussi, surtout celle-là

Mr. Darcy, votre érudition n'est plus à démontrer. Quel autre trésor allez-vous exhumer de la bibliothèque de Pemberley ?

J'apporte une très modeste contribution: un thornton tout à fait secondaire que je viens de croiser dans un roman de Arthur Upfield (Un vent du diable, p.101 de l'édition 10/18*) où il sert d'alibi à l'inspecteur Bonaparte face au suspicieux sergent Simone :

Citation :

- Je venais de Broken Hill.
- Vous n'y habitez pas. Je ne vous y ai encore jamais vu.
- Oh non! Je suis passé par Broken Hill après avoir quitté une exploitation appelée Barrakee. Voyez-vous, je travaillais à Barrakee.
- Barrakee, hein ? Nous allons vientôt vérifier. Qui en est le propriétaire ?
- M. Thornton.
- Hum !

J'étais embusquée au détour d'une phrase et, lorsqu'il est passé furtivement, je l'ai attrapé à la volée.

* une lecture de circonstance vu le temps qu'il fait depuis hier et celui qu'on nous prévoit jusqu'à dimanche en France.

waouh ! MissAcacia tu n'as pas ton pareil !

En faisant des recherches sur la romance, j'ai croisé une très lambtonienne Elizabeth Thornton, auteur de divers romans aux titres prometteurs tels que Protection rapprochée ou encore Un coeur en otage...

J'ai aussi dans ma besace un Peter Thornton auteur de L'époque et son style la décoration intérieure ,1620-1920 (Flammarion) & un Général Sir William Thornton, homme du Yorkshire, lieutenant de la province de Calabar, & personnage de L'Hôtel Stancliffe de Charlotte Brontë.

Et la ville de Thornton, en Ontario(canada) est-ce que ça compte (si personne ne l'a déjà mise )?

Bon, je vais réintégrer les dames dans les espèces chassables. Après tout, il n'y a pas de raison puisqu'on admet les villes
Les règles sont hyper constantes... vous l'aurez remarqué . J'espère que le déroulé "au fil de l'eau" ne dérange personne.

Jolie gibecière Lady Clare (j'aime beaucoup le dernier, je n'ai pas lu l'Hôtel Stancliffe)

Clinchamps, Thornton (Ontario) n'a pas été citée et je te réintègre ta SA Thornton...

En voici un autre, que je viens de retrouver sur google books, dans le tome 2 de l'Histoire des duels anciens et modernes, de Fougeroux de Campigneulles, publié en 1835. Un Thornton fut le dernier autorisé à recourir à la vieille loi anglaise sur les combats judiciaires en 1817 (Espérons que la jeune fille ne s'appelait pas Hale... )



Notons que le Thornton ne s'est pas dégonflé...

Un John Thornton lié au monde des livres, trouvé sur le site Harper Collins :

J'ai trouvé un John Thornton Kirkland, président de l'université d'Harvard de 1810 à 1828.

Citation :

John Thornton Kirkland (August 17, 1770 – April 26, 1840) served as President of Harvard University from 1810 to 1828. A minister like many of his predecessors, he is remembered chiefly for his lenient treatment of students. Kirkland House, one of Harvard's undergraduate "houses," or residence halls, was named in his honor and in recognition of his term at the school's helm.

Oliver Wendell Holmes describes him thus, in his study of Ralph Waldo Emerson: "His 'shining morning face' was round as a baby's, and talked as pleasantly as his voice did, with smiles for accents and dimples for punctuation.... It was of him that the story was always told,--it may be as old as the invention of printing,--that he threw his sermons into a barrel, where they went to pieces and got mixed up, and that when he was going to preach he fished out what he thought would be about enough for a sermon, and patched the leaves together as he best might."

His contemporary George Ticknor described Kirkland's sermons as "full of intellectual wealth and practical wisdom, with sometimes a quaintness that bordered on humor."

Kirkland served as pastor of the New South Church in Boston, 1794-1810.
