Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tipyn O Bob, October, 1904 "My dear Robert," I began; and then I bit the end of my pen and looked out, through the open window, across the lawn to the river. It was not an easy note that I had to write. I put my pen down at last, and stared out at the water, a streak of blue between the green banks, wondering vaguely how to express what I wanted to say, and dimly conscious of the hum of the locusts and the odour of the honeysuckle. If only I were sure that Robert would come over this afternoon then I could tell him all this; it would be so much more satisfactory than writing. I must make him understand how pleased I was at his good fortune; that I appreciated what a terrible load had been lifted by the winning of this lawsuit of years´ standing; that I was happy for all the possibilities which the future now held for him. And there I stopped. It was my favourite nephew´s future that was troubling me. Robert had the stuff in him that makes great men under certain conditions; but I had not arrived at forty without realizing the terrible influence that circumstance wields over twenty-four.
