Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from De Lisle, Vol. 1 of 2: Or, the Sensitive Man "Well, but hear me, Hubert," said Lady De Lisle in her most conciliating accent; "Only hear what I have to say, before you decide on this sudden journey." "The journey is not sudden, Madam," said her son, with a look and.manner that seemed to defy alike persuasion or argument. "I always told you I should spend two years, previous to my coming of age, in travelling; I was nineteen last month, and so have no time to lose." "As you please, Sir," said Lady De Lisle, and turned from him with an air of haughty displeasure. At the door she stopped; and her son, half smiling to see how soon she relented, almost started at the cold, determined tone in which she added, "Do not be deceived by others, Hubert, or strive to deceive yourself. I will not reward those who thwart me, or think of those who think but of themselves. My son you must be, - my heir you need not be!" and with this threat, often before implied, but never so explicitly mentioned, Lady De Lisle left her headstrong boy to his own reflections. They were none of the most exhilarating. Young De Lisle had no idea of giving up his plan, for when had he ever given up what he had said he would do? Yet he began to hate it very cordially. It had become irksome to him before this contest with his mother, and he could not help thinking it was very great folly to risk losing a splendid income, merely for the pleasure of getting the better of her. Then returned the recollection of his former reasons. His father, Sir Francis, a cheerful, hospitable, pleasing man in society, had, from a certain facility of temper, love of ease, and mental cowardice, long been quoted as the tamest of husband and most inefficient of masters. His lady´s will was law. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
