Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of Mr. John Decastro, Vol. 2 of 2: And His Brother Bat, Commonly Called Old Crab Some Account of a curious Charm - A Kiss, and a very sweet one too. Some wise folks say people soon get tired of things; other wise folks say that the more a man uses himself to a thing the more he likes it: now it seems to us, that wise folks take a pleasure in turning plain people´s heads round upon their shoulders, by contradicting one another to make sport of others: a fine use to put wisdom to! but let it pass. We very well know, that in Mr. Decastro´s case the more he lived in retirement the better he liked it, and had now come to such a pass as to shut his doors against every body but a few very old friends and relations. A carriage, therefore, driving to his gates, always put him in the fidgets till he knew what it brought. The Countess of Budemere´s was now come, when he, seeing the well known coronet upon its panels, instantly came forth to welcome his sister and his niece. The unexpected news which they brought with them surprised him and Mrs. Decastro not a little. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
