Description
Excerpt from The Red Court Farm, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel
Chester, going over to offer a condol''ing visit, heard this, and spoke out her opinion with her ''usual want of reserve. She looked upon him as a man lost. No, said he, I am saved! I shall go to work now. Hoping to redeem fortune? She rejoined. Yes, he said, and something else besides.
Heavily lay the shadow of the past upon Robert Hunter. The drooping form of his loving and neglected wife, bright with h0pe once, mouldering in her grave now, was in his mind always the years that he had wasted in frivolity, the money he had recklessly spent. Oh, the Simpleton he was -as he thought now, looking back in his repentance. When he had become master of a good profession, why did he abandon it because a little money was left him? To be come a gentleman amongst gentlemen, forsooth; ''to put away the soiling of his hands; to live a life of vanity and indolence. Heaven had recompensed him in its Own just way: whatso ever a man soweth, that shall he reap. His soldiership was gone, his wife was gone; money, the greater portion of it, was gone. Nothing left to him but remembrance, and the ever-present.
