Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tales and Novels, Vol. 2 of 18 "My Dear Erasmus, "Your friend and patient, Mr. Gresham, was so eager to take your advice, and so quick in his movements, that your letter announcing your intended visit reached us but a few days before his arrival at the Hills. And - mark how great and little events, which seem to have no possible link of connexion, depend upon one another - Alfred or Mr. Gresham must have sat up all night, or slept on the floor, had not Alfred, that morning, received a letter from Mrs. Hungerford, summoning him to town to draw her son´s marriage settlements. It is thought that Colonel Hungerford, whose leave of absence from his regiment has, by special favour, been repeatedly protracted, will be very soon sent abroad. Lady Elizabeth Pembroke has, therefore, consented to his urgent desire for their immediate union; and Alfred will, I am sure, give them as little reason as possible to complain of the law´s delay. Lady Elizabeth, who has all that decision of mind and true courage which you know is so completely compatible with the most perfect gentleness of disposition and softness, even timidity of manners, resolves to leave all her relations and friends, and to go abroad. She says she knew what sacrifices she must make in marrying a soldier, and she is prepared to make them without hesitation or repining. "And now to return to your friend Mr. Gresham. The more we see of him the more we like him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
