Excerpt from Golden Bells: A Peal in Seven ChangesAnd, therefore, let them go - even as our own glories will have to pass some day, when Nature becomes wea ried out at last with us and our ways.When old Oliver Graith, of Zion Farm, near Porth tyre, died, he turned out to have been an even richer man than the neighbors had looked for, though he had always been reputed something more than warm. His farm was unencumbered freehold; he had several thou sands in the hands of a banker at Redruth; and the ex tent of so large a fortune for a plain farmer was ao countable for, less by his sober ways and thrifty habits than by the constant success that used to attend his share in a cutter that, war or no war, traded with Spain. And the fortune was practically all the greater because by his death it was not divided. Subject to a life charge for the benefit of his widow - nearly thirty years younger than he - everything went, land, money, trad ing share, and all, to his only child, Oliver Graith the younger, then eighteen; the sole trustee being Mrs. Graith's first cousin, the Redruth banker, Lancelot Ambrose by name.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
