Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reminiscences, Vol. 2 of 2: Chiefly of Towns, Villages and Schools
I have headed the chapter 'The Waylands, ' because it would be really quite preposterous to place the husband at the head of the concern, and it would never have done to put the lady. Mrs. Wayland became, indeed, the most intimate lady friend of the Mozley family for half her own life, and from my own boyhood to middle age; but Mr. Wayland preceded and long survived her.
Daniel Sheppard Wayland must have been from infancy, what he continued to be when a bundle of old bones holding together at all sorts of angles, a most interesting character. Disposed as I am to strike against fluency, suavity, and even sweetness with no acidity in it, I always felt it a pleasure to be in his society - a pleasure and a profit too. I suppose he was from Somersetshire, for I think his second name was derived from the well-known family in the Frome district.
