The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.Charles Reade was not one of those who smile at the claims of long descent. It was ever a source of satisfaction to him that both his paternal and maternal ancestors had been people of consequence in England since the fifteenth century. Nevertheless he attributes his own pugnacious virility to a timely infusion of peasant blood A piece of good fortune befell us in the last century. My fathers grandfather married the daughter of the village blacksmith and from her we are descended. More signiicant is his connection with Major Scott-Waring, his mothers father, whose second and third wives were both actresses. A taste for matters theatrical may have come to Charles from that side of the house, but he was indebted to his father for whatever conservative virtues he possessed, as well as for the good height and handsome face he inherited directly. But, like so many men of genius, it was from his mother that Charles Reade derived those qualities that brought him to the notice of the world at large. This good lady lived to be ninety, and to judge from her sayings, preserved by her literary and favourite son, she was a woman of much independence of thought, as well as originality in expression. A reading of these notes makes it clear whence Charles Reade inherited his facility for epigrams.This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Excerpt from It Is Never Too Late to Mend, Vol. 2 of 3: A Matter of Fact RomanceThe turnkeys looked in their chief's face with a strange expression Of stupid wonder. Hawes caught this - his wrath rose higher.What d'ye stand staring at me like stuck pigs for? Come out, N O. 15. You all! Why don't you bring him out to the crank?' Hodges answered gloomily from the cell, Come and bring him yourself, if you can.' At such an address from a turnkey, Hawes, who had now mounted the last stair, gave a snort of surprise and wrath - then darted into the cell threatening the most horrible vengeance on the bones and body of poor Josephs, threats which he confirmed with a tremendous oath. But to that oath succeeded a sudden dead stupid staring silence; for running fiercely into the cell with rage in his face, threats and curses on his tongue, he had almost stumbled over a corpse.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
