Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tales From Blackwood
How Should I know P He calls himself Leopold Young Mandeville - is a surveyor by trade, and has been working abroad at some outlandish line or another for the last two years. He is a very fair hand at the compasses, and so I have got him here by way of assistant. You may think him rather dull at first, but wait till he has finished a pint, and I'm shot if he don't astonish you. Now, if you will have nothing more, we may as well go out, and take a ride by way of appetiser.
