The Gentleman of Fifty and the Damsel of Nineteen by George Meredith relinquishing his freedom. 'My dear, I am coming,' said the vicar. 'Then, come at once, or I shall think you idiotic,' the wife retorted. 'I have been endeavouring,' the vicar now addressed me, 'to prove by a practical demonstration that women are capable of as much philosophy as men, under any sudden and afflicting revolution of circumstances.' 'And if you get a sunstroke, you will be rightly punished, and I shall not be sorry, Mr. Amble.' 'I am coming, my dear Jane. Pray run into the house and change your things.' 'Not till I see you out of the water, sir.' 'You are losing your temper, my love.' We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
