Jane And His Lordship's Legacy
“~ “AND WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR NEIGHBOUR NOW, Edward?” I demanded as we made our way up the Alton High Street in the direction of the George. “A nice, savoury fellow by way of a clergyman’s son. And he wishes to be Squire of Chawton!” “As I said: an ill-conditioned pup, for all he is five-and-thirty. But there is no real harm in him, Jane.” “And no real good either.” Edward laughed. “I have an idea of the Hinton household as it must once have been: a collection of over-fond sisters and half-s...isters; a young boy sent away to school and disliking it as much as any boy could; indulged at his term leave, and petted by the women of the family long after such attention should be necessary; intended, like his father, for the Church. Only young Mr. Hinton has no taste for Holy Orders: He wishes to cut a dash, to be top of the trees as the young bloods would put it; up to snuff, awake upon every suit; a cock of the game. In short: a sporting man of the first stare.MoreLess
