Excerpt from The English Illustrated Magazine, Vol. 38: October, 1907, to March, 1908 Phewl dear me, I h0pe you will over look this unseemly ebullition of feeling on my part, but the fact is we are more or less gone on Our General, and to one like myself, who was not only chiefly instrumental in bringing him to the terrace, but who knew him years ago in what he is now pleased to term his better days (when, surrounded by every luxury that money could procure, he was still able to draw everyone to him by that inherent charm of manner, begotten solely of a large and guileless heart) - to me, I say, it is impossible to regard his home ward progress up the terrace with his little granddaughter, as you saw him just now, without some undefined wish that it was at the head of a forlorn hope, and I there to stand by his side and fight with him to the bitter end. So much for breeding! But to go on with Our General. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
