On 13 October 1927 architect Selwyn Hirst (married to Ada Felton Hirst (nee Leatherdale)), crossed the US Canada border at Bridgeburg. The Canadian Immigration Service monthly summary includes a record of this crossing.
In the bottom row of the extract two columns for him begin
Northern Ontario Building, Toronto
and
686 Academy Street, New York, N.Y.
"Wife"
The rest of the texts I struggle with.
The Northern Ontario Building, Toronto by the architects Chapman and Oxley was completed in 1925
Any help much appreciated.

In these extracts the diarist is discussing the relationship that led to the birth of Philip, Chesterfield's illegitimate son. I thought I had it understood but I have backtracked and need help with the text

"he would seduce her & the xxxxx xxx xx xxxxxx
(she was a xxxxxx) he succeeded with her
& her life afterwards was spent in obscurity in
London – the “amendment” was declined
Chesterfield must have known of the xxxxxxxx xx xxxxx was cut to the....he behaved most xxxxxx to them "

BTW The amendment was £500 he left her in his will "as small reparation for the injury I did her".
His son Philip married in secret and C. did not know of it until after Philip's death when his widow and children needed help and C 'behaved most ?liberally? to them'

Thanks for any help.

I think that a six person household in the E&W 1891 census has these entries in cols 7 & 16

Head, Deaf with one ear
Wife, Sound (at times)
Lodger, Peculiar
Servant, Deaf (at times)
Servant, Blind with one eye
Servant, Sound

Peculiar?
It's certainly odd and it's an unusual household - can you explain?
Thanks

I thought I had this passage sorted but I now realise I am lost. Can you help with red xxxx?

"Shall try to get little Miss Hyde from Craven Arms but
if Do fail we shall do very well with Miss Madeline
Wood & Jesse. Miss Madeline I much like, Mrs
Anthonys epithet for her “gracious” fits her exactly, has"

Thanks for any help in getting the bold text
I am so grateful for all the help received.

Another word and a phrase has come back to bother me.

The diarist, having read page 609 of The English humourists of the eighteenth century by Thackeray, comments on a quotation from Alexander Pope’s satirical “Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot” that sums up Pope's view of Joseph Addison, a respected literary critic of the time.

'English Humourists   “Damn with faint praise, assent with
civil leer & without sneering, move the rest to sneer”  in
satire on Addison by Pope. Now jealous of Addisons Cleaque. To Pope most of the Humourists'

The xxxxxx words are problematic to me, but that makes the whole interlinear phrase difficult to place. Can you help?

Thanks for all the help so far. Bold text thanks to help here.
