Publisher description
Excerpt from The Colonel's Story As I write of the Colonel, he seems to stand before me: handsome, deferential, and with a certain repose of bearing, ever the hall-mark of a gentleman. He was wont to say of himself, "I am like a weather-beaten old oak: of small use in the landscape, but with a sheltering arm still, and, please God, a sound heart." I can hardly imagine any one who less resembled the king of the forest. If it be necessary to illustrate the Colonel by a tree of some kind, I might liken him, in his grey suit, to a silver birch; tall and straight, and well lichened at the top with grey moss. Little Dorothea Berkeley could remember no time when he was not an honoured guest of her house. Her sister Shirley recollected well when he first came.
