Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tony the Exceptional Sir Anthony Durbridge, eating his breakfast at Clympstone House on a sunny spring morning, was a very well pleased man, as indeed he had good reason to be. Demobilised at last, after gallantly fighting his country´s battles for four years, here he was back in the old place, body and limbs intact, rather the better than the worse for what he had gone through, and gratefully aware that the management of his extensive estates had been carried on with competent assiduity during his long absence. That the enemy´s missiles had contrived not to hit so conspicuous a target as was offered by his tall, broad person - mounted, as it had been, for a great part of the time on a horse - was a marvel, and no doubt he had been exceptionally favoured by fortune. But Tony was exceptional in many ways, some satisfactory, some less so. Such was his mother´s considered judgment of him, and Lady Grace´s judgments were often sound, always authoritative. It was in an authoritative voice that she announced across the breakfast-table: "We shall have to get rid of Woolcombe." "Shall we?" asked her son, raising his bright blue eyes from the pile of letters at which he had been intermittently glancing. "Why?"
