Book Description

Excerpt from The Little Blind God a-Wheel "But I can't ride, my dear." "Learn, then." "Impossible." "Why?" "Why - it is." "Everybody rides now, Aunt Evelyn. All the people you'd expect it of, and all the people that you wouldn't. It won't be long before we hear that Victoria herself has foresworn her donkey cart and taken to a wheel." "But I'm not great enough, mentally or physically, to justify me in any such undertaking. Fancy me, a woman of forty with a sixteen-yearold son, riding off on one of those tipsy affairs! What would your uncle say?" "He's abroad and needn't be told." "Deceitful girl! And how could I ever maintain my moral ascendency over Richie, after letting him see me topple over a few times?"
