Excerpt from The Awakening of Helena RichieBenjamin Wright had not thanked Heaven when Dr. Lavendar drove away. He had been as disagree able as usual to his visitor, but being a very lonely old man he enjoyed having a visitor to Whom to be dis agreeable. He lived on his hilltop a mile out of Old Chester, with his nigger Simmons, his canary-birds, and his temper. More than thirty years before he had quarrelled with his only son Samuel, and the two men had not spoken to each other since. Old Chester never knew what this quarrel had been about; Dr. Lavendar, speculating upon it as he and Goliath went squashing through the mud that April afternoon, wondered which was to blame. Pot and kettle, probably, he de cided. Samuel's goodness is very irritating some times, and Benjamin's badness is - well, it's not as distressing as it Should be. But what a forlorn old critter he is! And this Mrs. Richie is lonely too-a widow, with no children, poor woman! I must call next week. Goliath wouldn't like to turn round now and climb the hill again. Danny, I fear Goliath is very selfish.Goliath's selfishness carried them home and landed Dr. Lavendar at his own fireside, rather tired and full of good intentions in regard to calls. He confided these intentions to Dr. William King who looked in after supper to inquire about his cold.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
