Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Men, Women, and Lovers Johnny promptly began a caricature of me in the act of dedication. Those were happy days; and now that they are gone forever, the memory of this conversation emboldens me to preface the "fables and allegories" of the master´s friends by a word or two of humble prose in memory of himself. We - I mean his guests - used sometimes to agree among ourselves that, charming as his cleverness, readiness arid kindness must have made him anywhere, he could nowhere have been seen to such advantage as in his own island; and I used to think that it was one chief proof of his wisdom to have chosen from the first a life so unlike other peoples and so well suited to himself, because there was nothing about it that did not admit of being done perfectly - at all events, while he was there to do it. I believe he was nearly five-and-thirty when he came to the island. I know nothing about his life before that date; and though old friends who did, used to come and stay with him, neither he nor they ever spoke, except incidentally, of those earlier days. The island is in British waters, but some hours´ sail from the neighboring continent of Great Britain. The freehold or lordship, that goes by an archaic name (which I have forgotten), was in the market, and he bought it for a few thousand pounds. For years there had been no wealthy resident owner.
