A Rent in a Cloud and St. Patrick's Eve

Paperback (Forgotten Books Jan. 17, 2018)
Excerpt from A Rent in a Cloud and St. Patrick's EveAbout the worst in the universe; but to a young hand, they are enchantment. All their discourse is of something to be enjoyed. It is that foot-race, that game of billiards, that match at cricket, that stunning fine girl to ride out with, those excellent cigars Watkins is sending us; and so on. All is action, and very pleasant action too. Then duty, though it's the habit to revile and curse it, duty is associated with a sense of manhood a sort of goosestep chivalry to be sure, but still chivalry. One likes to see the sergeant with his orderly book, and to read, Ensign Calvert for the main guard.'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
