| | 1 | Author: | Doyle, Arthur Conan | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | The Lost World  | | | | Published: | 1998 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | MR. HUNGERTON, her father, really was
the most tactless person upon earth,—a fluffy, feathery, untidy cockatoo of a
man, perfectly good-natured, but absolutely
centered upon his own silly self. If anything
could have driven me from Gladys, it would have
been the thought of such a father-in-law. I am
convinced that he really believed in his heart that
I came round to The Chestnuts three days a week
for the pleasure of his company, and very especially to hear his views upon bimetallism, a subject
upon which he was by way of being an authority. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
