Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mortallone and Aunt Trinidad: Tales of the Spanish Main My father, Roger Handfast, was a Bristol man born, and kept a pewterer´s shop on the old Bridge, now pulled down with the houses that lined it on either side of the causeway. He had married (somewhat late in life) Deborah Clipseby, a currier´s daughter of the parish of St. Mary Redcliff; and I, Philip Handfast, was their only child. My parents set great store by me, and I dare say supposed - being passably well-to-do - that beyond their agreement nothing was needed to set me going on a fair path of life. My mother, whose family had once been gentle, and married in its time with the great houses of Courtenay and Crewe, procured that I should be taught at the best Grammar School in the City, and dreamed of my rising through Holy Orders to end as a Bishop.
