Book Description

Excerpt from John Caldigate 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.
