Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Trip to the United States in 1887
Shall know more of him too. There is a young Canadian possessed of a large estate and ample means, but who broke up his health by nursing his first baby, as they were afraid to trust it to anyone else. He got up three or four times in the night to feed it for nearly six months, and has not been able to sleep since; and as he cannot stand the Canadian weather, he has to spend the winter in a hotter climate, which is sometimes in the south of Europe and sometimes in Brazil. Anyhow, he is always obliged to leave his wife and family for four months in the year when it is cold, and as his wife cannot stand the hottest months, she has to leave the estate for the sea-shore. They are very fond of one ano ther, which makes it all the worse. How ever, he is looking forward to the time when the children are old enough to travel, so that they may all go to the south of France in the season, together. It certainly does seem an unfortunate case as it stands.
