JOHN COOK was born in Liverpool on the 11th of September 1851. His parents were inhabitants of the city at this time due to, presumably, his father being contracted to a Liverpool-based ship. John holds the distinc-tion of being the only English-born Cook. Upon his parents’ return to Ardrossan, he was baptised on the 22nd of April 1856. As a boy, he went to school in Ardrossan and by the age of 19, he appears to have left home.
John went on to become a telegraphist, a career that would eventually take him far from his ancestral shores. In 1871, he was working as a tele-graph clerk and lodging at 8 Argyle Street in Greenock.

According to the work of William Frederick Gardner, himself a descendant of Amelia’s brother James Wil-liam Gardner, Emma was born in 1849 in Islington, Middlesex in Eng-land. She was the daughter of James and Amelia Emma (née Pavitt) Gardner, who came to Harbour Grace, Newfoundland about 1856 as mission teachers. Gardner wrote that Emma was “an excellent musician, singer, and teacher,” who played the harmonium at St Paul’s Anglican Church from the age of 13. She apparently played the harmonium on the day that her brother, Reverend George Gardner, rector of the Heart’s Content congregation at St Mary’s Anglican Church at the time, held a service to commemorate the receipt of the first message transmitted from Valentia Island. Emma’s first marriage to George Unicume in 1872 re-sulted in three children: Annie Louise in 1873, Mabel Frances in 1875, and Henry James in 1876.
John and Emma had four children of their own in Heart’s Content: Jessie Emma[C.1.2.4.3.1] in late 1879 or early 1880, Archibald Boyd[C.1.2.4.3.2] in 1883, Mary Barrie[C.1.2.4.3.3] in 1887, and Blanche[C.1.2.4.3.2] in 1894.

It was in 1973, that a young, brazen and ostentatious Donald Trump, met one of New York’s most notorious attorney: Roy Cohn, whose name was synonymous with the rise of manipulative political power acts. Roy was known to be a ruthless prosecutor who had mastered control over all the loopholes in the law and had become the premier practitioner of hardball deal making, offering his help to defend even the mafia networks. Cohn became a business mentor and nearly a second father to Trump. Trump first hired Cohn to sue the federal government.

Though at first glance, Emma appears to be a generic romantic novel about virtue and ladyhood, Austen actually challenges what the meaning of “ladyhood” is to the reader. We view Emma’s follies, trials, and triumphs through the eyes of the omnipotent narrator who first describes Emma as a stereotypical, wealthy young lady who is “handsome, clever…with…a happy disposition” (1). Through the use of irony, Austen employs a series of situations in which Emma, a “lady” of high standing within her community, challenges conventional thinking of what it means to be a young woman in the early nineteenth century, particularly her ideas concerning marriage and
