Excerpt from Stories of Waterloo: Complete in One VolumeMy overtures were favourably received, and I was as sured the lady's heart was mine. Every preliminary for my marriage was nearly completed, when another suitor, unexpectedly, addressed my mistress. In age he was my senior by twenty years, in fortune he exceeded me by one hundred thousand pou'nds. I despised him: he was ugly I was handsome. At the next ball, however, my mis tress cut me dead, and on the second morning after it she married my ill-looking rival. I left England in disgust, and became a woman-hater and a wanderer.I had passed three weeks miserably enough in a French fishing town. How I managed to consume so much time there, was to me a subject of surprise. All my resources were at length exhausted, and to remain, even for another day, was impossible but where to go, whither to bend my course there lay the puzzle.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from My Life, Vol. 1 of 3I had been delicate from infancy - and the enervating effects of an unhealthy climate obliged me to retire upon half-pay, and quit Ceylon for England, to try if native air would restore a shattered constitution.

Excerpt from My Life, Vol. 2 of 3The detachment to which I was ordered off, was quartered in a small town adjoining the mountains, and stationed there to protect half a-dozen gaugers, who were waging war against illicit whiskey. It consisted of two companies one was commanded by Captain o'moore, and he was mad; the other by Captain Daly, and he was married. Of the subalterns, two were sick and absent, and the other twain sent from head-quarters, being, as the colonel considered, unsuited for the corps. One drank water, kept Lent, played the fiddle, and professed anti duelling principles the other, because the com ruander disliked him for some cause with which we were unacquainted; he was, they said, re served and unsocial, and, from his brusque man ners and cynical disposition, generally unp0pu lar.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Life Can Never Be the SameIn their own houses the inhabitants were pushed into corners to make room for the amiable invaders; naturally it had to be done, and they were handsomely paid for the accommodation they provided. But beneath it all, the wonderful, quiet, industrious French life went on unchanged. They were French; no swamping by foreigners.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Mirror and the LampRom; resembled Athens, Brussels was just a smaller Paris, one country town is very like another; but St. Dun stan's is like nothing except itself.Even the idlest tourist at once recognises the spell, and in every minute that he lingers he submits to its deepening force. He is not so much affected by what he sees as by what he feels. The place is old, the streets are narrow, and over all the clustered roofs rises the splendour of the church of Christ; here one pauses with bowed head to gaze at hal lowed ground, here one strains lifted eyes to catch the sun light on stones that look like lace hung as a curtain in the sky; under that archway used to ride mailed warriors; round those cloisters came lines of singing monks; and over the marshy plain, through the night of history, from cities that are dust and lands that have long since lost a name, wended their way century after century the endless pilgrim horde - but all this is nothing, the drone of hireling guides, the tale of a three-penny book, the echo of memory's sleepy tongue. What is real is the faith that clings to the faithful spot. Here men believed; here men are still believing.It is less than nothing that all which was material should perish and decay, if all that was spiritual and impalpable may continue to live. This is the third church that has stood in the meadow blessed by the saint, and if this too falls a fourth shall take its place; but, new or old, it would always be the same church - the self-same church wherein conquering lords of a savage isle craved pardon from the God-man whom their ancestors had killed, wherein sun beams slanting down from lofty windows made tremulous tinted halos for a martyr's brow; wherein foreign refugees crept underground to worship in darkness, and praise the maiden queen whose hand was strong enough to hold them 33 e.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from With the Connaught Rangers in Quarters, Camp, and on LeaveOld Toby White was town-major then, and his portrait, often repeated, appeared on the walls of the Castle Guard. I always tried to be sub. On the Castle Guard, for it was a pleasant lounge during the day, and in the evening a good dinner was served free of expense, while at night a supper of grilled bones, etc., was always ready for those who had been at the theatre, and who looked in on their way home.Everything is changed in Ireland now-a-days. The spirit of fun seems to have vanished, and a sombre gloom appears to overshadow every thing. There was always a comical side to all the proceedings of our Irish friends, even when the affair was serious, or assumed an air of importance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
