Books with title Tommy and Grizel, Vol. 1 of 2

A novel to be liked, or resented, as you will, but not to be ignored. When "Sentimental Tommy" closed with two remarkable children just entering upon maturity, this sequel was foreshadowed. The scenes are in London and in Thrums; but the most critical incident happens on the Continent. The pith of it is the interior life of emotion in two characters, — a woman with the straightforward, independent spirit of a man, but with a genius for loving, and a chameleon-like man. This emotional relationship implies tragedy. But sweeter tragedy has seldom been written. Mr. Barrie's satisfying style and delicate humor throw rosy gleams even in the darkest places of the story.

TOMMY AND GRIZEL CHAPTER I how tommy found a way O. P. Pym, the colossal Pym, that vast and rolling figure, who never knew what he was to write about until he dipped grandly, an author in such demand that on the foggy evening which starts our story his publishers have had his boots removed lest he slip thoughtlessly round the corner before his work is done, as was the great man's way - shall we begin with him or with Tommy, who has just arrived in London carrying his little box and leading a lady by the hand ? It was Pym, as we are about to see, who in the beginning held Tommy up to the public gaze, Pym who first noticed his remarkable indifference to female society, Pym who gave him- But, alack, does no one remember Pym for himself; is the king of the Penny Number already no more than a button that once upon a time kept Tommy's person together? And we are at the night when they first met! Let-us hasten into Maryle-bone, before little Tommy arrives and Pym is swallowed like Table of Contents CONTENTS; Chattse Paos; 1 How Tommy found a Way l; II The Search for the Treasure 13; III Sandys on Woman 32; IV Grizel of the Crooked Smile 47; V The Tommy Myth 63; VI Ghosts that haunt the Den 80; VII The Begixxing of the Duel 93; VIII What Grizel's Eyes said 110; IX Gallant Behavior op T Sandys 122; X Gavixia on the Track 138; XI The Tea-Party 142; XII In wiiich a Comedian challenges Tragedy; to Bowls 162; XIII Little Wells of Gladness 180; XIV Elspeth 195; XV By Prosen Water 205; XVI "How could you hurt your Grizel so!" 216; XVII How Tommy saved the Flag 229; XVIII The Girl she had bee>j 240; XIX Of the Change in Thomas 252; XX A JLove-Letter 268About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Seri
