But Mr. Clancy was always modest about his possessions. 'It's so sweet of you to like my things, ' he would say deprecatingly to some fashionable lady who was going round his rooms sniffing up ideas. 'I never care for anything I have. It's so good of you to like my poor little cottage.'This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
