Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from From Side Streets and Boulevards: A Collection of Chicago Stories In the year 1858 lived in a diminutive cottage, on the outskirts of one of our large eastern cities, a small family in rather reduced circumstances. This family differed from the thousands similarly situated in the misfortunes leading to their present condition. The father was one of the younger sons in a wealthy English family; he had been scrupulously taught the manly accomplishments appertaining to his station in life, received a liberal education, particularly in the art of spending money, and on reaching his twenty-fifth year fell in love with a handsome, highly educated girl, the daughter of a minister; this lady brought to her husband no larger dower than her beauty and devotion. All might have been well if the young husband had not already formed that taste for ardent spirits which has been, and is, the blight of so many hearthstones. The father of this young man, whose name was Trevanion, remonstrated with him gravely on his faults; he encouraged the attachment which resulted in his son´s marriage, under the impression that this tie might prove a powerful lever to work against his son´s besetting sin.
