Anotace knihy

Excerpt from Adventures Social and Literary The following pages of Adventures should be looked upon and read as though one had chanced to meet the Author at a country-house party, and after a British breakfast, damask tablecloth, silver, silver everywhere, and roses and rolls and simmering dishes, and honey taken episodically by each guest as he and she strolls into the dining-room during the course of the morning, two or three or four of the number of either sex happen to stroll out upon the soft emerald lawn and stand under the big cedar that shades them from the sun, already high risen in the sky. The Author tells some of his experiences for twenty minutes or so, after which the impromptu party separates, to meet perhaps, equally by accident, after luncheon, in one of the broad bay-windows looking over the lake and distant woodlands: one solitary church spire gives a note of idealism to the landscape. More stories then, and perhaps a boating excursion on the lake, where some may get a little wet, but they will not catch a severe cold. The Author's chief regret is that he is obliged to monopolize the conversation on this occasion (for listening well to others is half of good conversation). A late famous ambassador, whose son was the author's good friend, was once staying with Dr. Jowett at Balliol.
