Excerpt from A Fellow of Trinity
The story of Ernest Flowers' failures and successes is a very brief one. It has not even the charm Of novelty. It is a storyr as old as the hills. The old foolish story of an early - ridiculously-early improvident marriage, of a short spasm of unutterable happiness, of limited means, and failing health; of failure, disappointment, and death.
