The chief beauty of this book lies not so much in its literary style, or in the extent and usefulness of the information it conveys, as in its simple truthfulness. Its pages form the record of events that really happened. All that has been done is to colour them; and, for this, no extra charge has been made. George and Harris and Montmorency are not poetic ideals, but things of flesh and blood—especially George, who weighs about twelve stone. Other works may excel this in dept of thought and knowledge of human nature: other books may rival it in originality and size; but, for hopeless and incurable veracity, nothing yet discovered can surpass it. This, more than all its other charms, will, it is felt, make the volume precious in the eye of the earnest reader; and will lend additional weight to the lesson that the story teaches. [mehr]

"Room To Let For A Single Gentleman." Sometimes In An Idle Hour, Impelled By Foolishness, I Will Knock At The Door. It Is Opened After A Longer Or Shorter Interval By The "Slavey"--In The Morning, Slatternly, Her Arms Concealed Beneath Her Apron; In The Afternoon, Smart In Dirty Cap And Apron. How Well I Know Her! Unchanged, Not Grown An Inch--Her Round Bewildered Eyes, Her Open Mouth, Her Touzled Hair, Her Scored Red Hands. [mehr]

Now, This Is A Subject On Which I Flatter Myself I Really Am _Au Fait_. The Gentleman Who, When I Was Young, Bathed Me At Wisdom's Font For Nine Guineas A Term--No Extras--Used To Say He Never Knew A Boy Who Could Do Less Work In More Time; And I Remember My Poor Grandmother Once Incidentally Observing, In The Course Of An Instruction Upon The Use Of The Prayer-Book, That It Was Highly Improbable That I Should Ever Do Much That I Ought Not To Do, But That She Felt Convinced Beyond A Doubt That I Should Leave Undone Pretty Well Everything That I Ought To Do.

Fate Intended Me For A Singularly Fortunate Man. Properly, I Ought To Have Been Born In June, Which Being, As Is Well Known, The Luckiest Month In All The Year For Such Events, Should, By Thoughtful Parents, Be More Generally Selected. How It Was I Came To Be Born In May, Which Is, On The Other Hand, Of All The Twelve The Most Unlucky, As I Have Proved, I Leave To Those More Conversant With The Subject To Explain. An Early Nurse, The First Human Being Of Whom I Have Any Distinct Recollection, Unhesitatingly Attributed The Unfortunate Fact To My Natural Impatience; Which Quality She At The Same Time Predicted Would Lead Me Into Even Greater Trouble, A Prophecy Impressed By Future Events With The Stamp Of Prescience. It Was From This Same Bony Lady That I Likewise Learned The Manner Of My Coming. It Seems That I Arrived, Quite Unexpectedly, Two Hours After News Had Reached The House Of The Ruin Of My Father's Mines Through Inundation; Misfortunes, As It Was Expounded To Me, Never Coming Singly In This World To Any One. That All Things Might Be Of A Piece, My Poor Mother, Attempting To Reach The Bell, Fell Against And Broke The Cheval-Glass, Thus Further Saddening Herself With The Conviction--For No Amount Of Reasoning Ever Succeeded In Purging Her Welsh Blood Of Its Natural Superstition--That Whatever Might Be The Result Of Future Battles With My Evil Star, The First Seven Years Of Tiny Existence Had Been, By Her Act, Doomed To Disaster.
