Riassunto

Excerpt from My Escape From the Mutinies in Oudh, Vol. 1 of 2

The garden was tastefully laid out, with ever greens and shrubberies and the few acres around were well planted. The whole of this little property was washed by the beauteous Wye, which almost encircled the estate; this, with the magnificent scenery around, made many envious of the Major's possession; and to tell the truth the old gentleman frequently chuckled at the bargain he had made in becoming the owner of the St. Helens estate.

Soon after he had purchased the property, Major Villars found himself a father; my mother having presented him with what the nurse was pleased to term, a poor sickly looking thing enoug but as an interval of nearly ten years elapsed before the birth of another; the fond parents had sufficient time allowed them to devote their attention to the rear ing of the first born, and to the curing of his ailments, of which he certainly had a plentiful supply but as his years increased, so he grew stronger, and was at the time of my introduction to life, a strong healthy boy enough, with a temper none the better for having been always yielded to, and a disposition tyrannical and disagreeable.
