  • In the Meshes, or a Drop of Boston Blue Blood

    William Roscoe Thayer

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, July 16, 2017)
    Excerpt from In the Meshes, or a Drop of Boston Blue BloodAs he read, with a monocle wedged into the cavity of his right eye, he seemed very uncomfortable; in deed, one or two young Club men of a later generation hinted that Mr. S. Wore the glass for show, and really used hisleft eye for reading; but this is immaterial. Mr. S., unlike most of his countrymen, found the dis mal jokes in Pufzck remarkably amusing. He even was known to laugh over them as immoder'ately as was consistent with his aristocratical breeding. But the Club cynics unkindly hinted that he did not under stand them, an insinuation pronounced to be Calumny by those who knew him best. If Mr. Speedwell did not know English manners and customs to the very core, who could do so? Had he not made the famous season of 1867 in company with his bosom friend, Lord Fiddle Paddle? Had he not shot stags in Scot land with the Duke of Roxburgh, and landed trout in Skye with Prince Leopold? And as for Devon shire, and the Fens, and the Isle of Wight, who had more racy personal adventures to relate about them all than he?Mr. Speedwell languidly dropped se/z on the floor, a smile, caused by that doosid fine caricature of Dizzy, lighting Up his affable countenance, took a cheroot from a Russia leather cigar-case, and called to the waiter for a light. He had taken a few puffs from the Manila weed, When two gentlemen approached him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
