Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bachelor Husband "Ah, then, was it all spring weather? Nay! but we were young - and together." She had always adored him. From the first moment he came to the house - an overgrown, good-looking schoolboy, and had started to bully and domineer over her, Marie Chester had thought him the most wonderful person in all the world. She waited on him hand and foot, she was his willing bondslave; she did not mind at ail when once, in an unusual fit of eloquence, she had confided in him that she thought it was the loveliest thing on earth to have a brother, young Christopher answered almost brutally that she "talked rot, anyway, and that sisters were a bally nuisance!" He looked at her with a sort of contempt for a moment, then added: "Besides, we´re not brother and sister, really!" They were ¬ but their fathers had been lifelong friends, and when George Chester´s wife inconsiderately - or so her husband thought - died without presenting him with a son, and almost at the same time young Christopher Lawless was left an orphan, George Chester promptly adopted him. "It will do Marie good to have a brother," he maintained, when his sister, Miss Chester, who kept house for him, raised an objection. "She´s spoilt - shockingly spoilt - and a boy about the place will knock off some of her airs and graces."
