Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Hope of the House Young Owen leaned against the rough gate and gazed out across the landscape. His heart was sorrowful, and the beauty of the prospect pierced it with an almost physical pain. Just a week ago, up at Cambridge, life had opened out before him with a vision as fair and untroubled as that sweep of country upon which his eyes now rested: sweet with the promise of spring; sun-gilt, shadowed with but the most fleeting clouds - clouds of youth, that have more light than gloom in them. Now death had stricken his house. Ruin menaced. A burden of care and responsibility, over-heavy for his twenty years, had been flung upon his shoulders. He had come out here to think, to grapple with a problem which was not solvable, whichever way one looked at it, save at some grievous cost. He had to take a decision vitally concerning not only his future, but that of his only brother, still a child. When - how long ago it seemed I - his tutor had broken to him the sudden passing away of his kindly, easy-going father, he had thought, with juvenile exaggeration, that he had touched the extreme of sorrow.
