Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Austin Elliot It so happened that, in the early spring of the year 1789, three young men, each equally full of health, hope, honor, courage, and curiosity, separated at the gates of Christchurch College, Oxford, to pursue divergent paths across that world, which at that time seemed, to those three, only a sunny fairy land lying betwixt them and the grave, - only some enchanted land full of glorious adventures, and they three young knights ready to achieve them. To one of the three - the youngest and the most famous, by name Jenkinson - we shall only allude incidentally. With regard to the other two, George Hilton and James Elliot, we shall have to be a little more explicit. George Hilton, the handsomer and cleverer of the two, went abroad, and, having met his friend Jenkinson at the storming of the Bastile, came home again in September, bringing with him a lovely, fragile little being of a French wife, a daughter of the Due de Mazagan, who had been pleased that his daughter should marry this fine young English merchant, and be out of the way of those troubles, which he saw gathering so darkly, and so swiftly, over the head of his devoted order.
