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 |
