Excerpt from Mr. Montenello, Vol. 1: A Romance of the Civil ServiceSome such re¿ections may possibly have passed through the minds of two individuals who, towards the close of an early spring afternoon, were seated on an overhanging ledge of a steep hill-side, and watching the expiring efforts of a pack of harriers to puzzle out a rapidly deteriorating scent over a ¿inty fallow beneath.The youngest of the two - to whom, as about to become the principal character in our story, we will give precedence in the way of intro duction-was a young man of about six-and twenty, tall, fair-haired, and rather good looking than' otherwise. He was slightly made, and rather too much of the hop-pole build to have a really good figure but at the same time was evidently active and vigorous, and possessed of the full use of his limbs. The chief fault to be found, both in figure and face, was a want'of solidity in the one and of decision in the other, and this was a very fair index to his general character.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
