Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from My Cousin Nicholas Respected Sir - or Madam (N. or M., as the case may be), - In laying before you this little piece of family biography, it does not escape me that to an "N. or M." of your enlightened mind, a question may very naturally arise wherefore should I - Thomas Ingoldsby - throughout these memoirs, describe myself under the alias of Charles Stafford? My dear Sir - or Madam - the fact is, that when, some seven years since, this veracious narrative first appeared in the pages of "Immortal Maga," - a fly in amber, preserved only by the pellucid brilliance that surrounded it, - I had reasons, as plenty as blackberries, for preserving a strict incognito. Inter alia. - Miss Kezia Ingoldsby, a lady who had a redundancy of virtues, - and £13,000 in the Three per Cents Reduced, - had not then shuffled off this mortal coil. She loved green tea, and hated an author. The bare idea of having such an animal in her own family would have been to her murder and sudden death. "Breathes there" a nephew "with soul so dead" who, under such circumstances, would incur the guilt of auntycide?
