Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gordon Keith Gordon Keith was the son of a gentleman. And this fact like the cat the honest miller left to his youngest son, was his only patrimony. As in that ease also, it stood to the possessor in the place of a good many other things. It helped him over many rough places. He carried it, with him as a devoted Romanist wears a sacred scapulary next to the heart. His father, General McDowell Keith of "Elphinstone," was a gentleman of the old kind, a type so old-fashioned that it is hardly accepted these days as having existed. He knew the Past and lived in it; the Present he did not understand, and the Future he did not know. In his latter days, when his son was growing up, after war bad swept like a vast inundation over the land, burying almost everything it had not borne away, General Keith still survived, unchanged, unmoved, unmarred, an antique memorial of the life of which he was a relic. His one standard was that of a gentleman. This idea was what the son inherited from the father along with some other old- fashioned things which he did not know the value of at first, but which be came to understand as he grew older.
