The first winter after Grandison 's arrival in Canada he gave a grand concert in Nordheimer 's Hall , then the principal concert hall in the city . Mary Sedley was the Prima Donna , and bouquet after bouquet was thrown at her feet , as she retired amid the plaudits of the multitude . After the concert Grandison accompanied them home to supper , and about twelve o'clock took his leave of the family . About an hour afterwards Mr. Sedley , thinking he heard a noise , got up and searched the house , when , to his surprise , he found the door unfastened . He thought he remembered having secured it as he retired to rest , but was not certain ; however , he proceeded , in his search , and on coming to Mary 's room , found the door locked , and heard his daughter breathing heavily , as if asleep . Being unwilling to disturb her , he returned to his bed , and , ere morning , the affair had passed from his memory .
