Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Harry Lorrequer
No small satisfaction has it been to me occasionally to hear that out of the over-abundance of my own buoyancy and lighthearted ness - and I had a great deal of both long ago - I have been able to share with my neighbor and given him part of my sunshine, and only felt the warmer myself. A great writer - one of the most elo quent historians who ever illustrated the military achievements of his country - once told me that, as he lay sick and care-worn after a fever, it was in my reckless stories of soldier life he found the cheeriest moments of his solitude; and now let me hasten to say that I tell this in no Spirit of boastfulness, but with the heartfelt gratitude of one who gained more by hearing that confession than Harry Lorrequer ever acquired by all his own.
