Excerpt from The Life of Sir George Newnes Bart
A few years before his death Sir George Newnes went one autumn for a holiday to the beautiful district in the Eastern States of North America which lies between the Hudson and the St. Lawrence rivers. One day, after lunch ing at Lake Placid Club, the largest and prob ably the most luxurious establishment of its kind in the length and breadth of the Adiron dacks, he sat with a friend in the cool shade at the edge of the lake. A letter had reached him that morning from a man in England whom he had not seen for more than twenty years. It must have been a pleasant letter, for the memories it' recalled induced in Sir George one of the rare moods when he put off his usual reserve and became an extraordinarily genial and fascinating talker.
