Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Caldigate Perhaps it was more the fault Daniel Caldigate the father than of his son John Caldigate, that they two could not live together in comfort in the days of the young man´s early youth. And yet it would have been much for both of them that such comfortable association should have been possible to them. Wherever the fault lay, or the chief fault - for probably there was some on both sides - the misfortune was so great as to bring crushing troubles upon each of them. There were but the two of which to make a household. When John was fifteen, and had been about a year at Harrow, he lost his mother and his two little sisters almost at a blow. The two girls went first, and the poor mother, who had kept herself alive to see them die, followed them almost instantly. Then Daniel Caldigate had been alone. And he was a man who knew how to live alone, - a just, hard, unsympathetic man, - of whom his neighbours said, with something of implied reproach, that he bore up strangely when he lost his wife and girls. This they said, because he was to be seen riding about the country, and because he was to be heard talking to the farmers and labourers as though nothing special had happened to him. It was rumoured of him, too, that he was as constant with his books as before; and he had been a man always constant with his books; and also that he had never been seen to shed a tear, or been heard to speak of those who had been taken from him. He was, in truth, a stout, self-constraining man. silent unless when he had something to say. Then he could become loud enough, or perhaps it might be said eloquent.
