Description
Excerpt: Chapter 1. TOWARD THE SETTING SUN IT is not necessary to say much about myself. First of all because there is not very much to tell of a young fellow of twenty?three, and then because I hope what I have done and seen will be more interesting than I am, for, between you and me, I often find Jack Hildreth a dull kind of person, especially on a rainy day when I have to sit in the house alone with him. When I was born three other children had preceded me in the world, and my father?s dreamy blue eyes saw no way of providing suitably for this superfluous fourth youngster. And then my uncle John came forward and said: ?Name the boy after me, and I?ll be responsible for his future.? Now Uncle John was rich and unmarried, and though my father could never get his mind down to anything more practical than deciphering cuneiform inscriptions, even he saw that this changed the unflattering prospects of his latest?born into unusually smiling ones.
