Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Curious Career of Roderick Campbell It is now thirty years since my grandfather, Doctor Forsyth, of Glenmoira, was carried, shoulder-high, to his grave, - a hale, Celtic Canadian of ninety-two, that we thought might have made out his century, for we are a long-lived race. He had never been in Scotland, but in that part of Ontario where he was brought up the Gaelic only was spoken at the end of the last century, and he himself had no English until he was a grown man. The stories that he told me, therefore, of his great-uncle, Roderick Campbell, he had gotten either from his father or from Roderick himself in the Gaelic, and in the same he gave them to me. They lose much of their flavor by translation into the modern way of speaking that prevails at this end of the nineteenth century, but I can write in no other tongue than the English, and so it must suffice.
