Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Eliot the Younger, Vol. 1 of 3: A Fiction in Freehand
SO it was with our Dick. Everybody admitted that that boy of Eliot's (eliot Of The Leas) was an intelligent lad enough, but the mischief was that his schoolmasters could make nothing of him, save and except an example.
As regards lessons, no youthful Boeotian, hopelessly acclimatised, and dulled by the thickness of his native air, could have been more sluggish, more muddle-headed. SO little did he ?ourish under the ferule, that his father, in his whimsical way, was wont to say Dick's Upas-tree was the birch.
