Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of Henry Esmond, Esq., Vol. 2: A Colonel in the Service of Her Majesty Queen Anne What Harry admired and submitted to in the pretty lad his kinsman was (for why should he resist it?) the calmness of patronage which my young lord assumed, as if to command was his undoubted right, and all the world (below his degree) ought to bow down to Viscount Castlewood. "I know my place, Harry," he said. "I´m not proud the boys - at Winchester College say I´m proud: but I´m not proud. I am simply Francis James Viscount Castlewood in the peerage of Ireland. I might have been (do you know that?) Francis James Marquis and Earl of Esmond in that of England. The late lord refused the title which was offered to him by my godfather, his late Majesty. You should know that - you are of our family, you know - you cannot help your bar sinister, Harry my dear fellow; and you belong to one of the best families in England, in spite of that; and you stood by my father, and by G - ! I´ll stand by you. You shall never want a friend, Harry, while Francis James Viscount Castlewood has a shilling. It´s now 1703 - I shall come of age in 1709.
