Excerpt from Princess PennilessUbert salveson escaped with a sudden feeling of elation from the prison closes of the Manor House. Tim was a good fellow, but selfish, already reckoning what his father would leave him, discounting it, weighing the advantages of this position, and that other marriage. He had resolved in his heart not to take his profession of barrister seriously. There was no need. In the neighbourhood there were many daughters Of rich merchants, shipowners, and whatnot, any one of whom would be glad to become mistress of the ancient Manor House of Thorsby, which would be his one day.With his father the boy Hubert had even less in common. His dry, reserved greetings, once made at breakfast, then over for the day, his constant falling back upon absolute paternal authority, and his devotion to subjects which, to the young man, seemed lifeless as last year's desiccated leaves in some hollow of the dene, had raised between the two an almost insurmountable barrier.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
