The Last Chronicle Of Barset Vol 3 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Last Chronicle of Barset, Vol. 3 He himself was contented, - so he told himself, - to die as he had lived in a country parsonage, working with the collar round his neck up to the day of his death, if God would allow him so to do. He was ambitious of no grandeur for himself. So he would tell himself, being partly oblivious of certain episodes in his own life. All his wealth had been got together for his children. He desired that his sons should be fitting brothers for their august sister. And now the son who was nearest to him, whom he was bent upon making a squire in his own county, wanted to marry the daughter of a man who had stolen twenty pounds, and when objection was made to so discreditable a connection, replied by packing up all his things and saying that he would go and live - at Fan! The archdeacon there fore did not like to hear of his son being busy at home. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Last Chronicle of Barset "I can never bring myself to believe it, John," said Mary Walker, the pretty daughter of Mr. George Walker, attorney of Silverbridge. Walker and Winthrop was the name of the firm, and they were respectable people, who did nil the solicitors' business that had to be done in that part of Barsetshire on behalf of the Crown, were employed on the local business of the Duke of Omnium, who is great in those parts, and altogether held their heads up high, as provincial lawyers often do. They - the Walkers - lived in a great brick house in the middle of the town, gave dinners, to which the county gentlemen not unfrequently condescended to come, and in a mild way led the fashion in Silverbridge. "I can never bring myself to believe it, John," said Miss Walker. "You'll have to bring yourself to believe it," said John, without taking his eyes from his book. "A clergyman - and such a clergyman, too!" "I don't see that that has any thing to do with it." And as he now spoke John did take his eyes off his book. "Why should not a clergyman turn thief as well as any body else? You girls always seem to forget that clergymen are only men after all." "Their conduct is likely to he better than that of other men, I think." "I deny it utterly," said John Walker. "I'll undertake to say that at this moment there are more clergymen in debt in Barsetshire than there are either lawyers or doctors. This man has always been in debt. Since he has been in the county I don't think he has ever been able to show his face in the High Street of Silverbridge." "John, that is saying more than you hare a right to say," said Mrs. Walker. "Why, mother, this very check was given to a butcher who had threatened a few days before to post bills all about the county, giving an account of the debt that was due to him, if the money was not paid at once." "More shame for Mr. Fletcher," said Mary. "He has made a fortune as butcher in Silverbridge," "What has that to do with it? Of course a man likes to have his money. He had written three times to the bishop, and he had sent a man over to Hogglestock to get his little hill settled six days running. You see he got it at last. Of course a tradesman must look for his money." "Mamma, do you think that Mr. Crawley stole the check?" Mary, as she asked the question, came and stood over her mother, looking at her with anxious eyes. "I would rather give no opinion, my dear." "But you must think something when every body is talking about it, mamma." "Of course my mother thinks he did," said John, going back to bis book. "It is impossible that she should think otherwise." "That is not fair, John," said Mrs. Walker; "and I won't have you fabricate thoughts for me, or put the expression of them into my mouth. The whole affair is very painful, and as your father is engaged in the inquiry I think that the less said about the matter in this house the better. I am sure that that would be your father's feeling." "Of course I should say nothing about it before him," said Mary. "I know that papa does not wish to have it talked about. But how is one to help thinking about such a thing? It would be so terrible for all of us who belong to the Church." "I do not sec that at all," said John.

The Last Chronicle of Barset Volume 3 By Anthony Trollope Anthony Trollope was a masterful satirist with an unerring eye for the most intrinsic details of human behavior and an imaginative grasp of the preoccupations of nineteenth-century English novels. In The Last Chronicle of Barset, Mr. Crawley, curate of Hogglestock, falls deeply into debt, bringing suffering to himself and his family. To make matters worse, he is accused of theft, can't remember where he got the counterfeit check he is alleged to have stolen, and must stand trial. Trollope's powerful portrait of this complex man-gloomy, brooding, and proud, moving relentlessly from one humiliation to another-achieves tragic dimensions.

Although they heard the voices of a civic watch, which, since these disturbances commenced, had been night ly maintained in that important pass, no chal lenge was given; and when they were so far down the stream as to be out of hearing of those guardians of the night, they began to row, but still with precaution, and to converse, though in a low tone.
