Excerpt from The Two Sides of the Shield
That in a youthful composition there should be a cavalier ancestry, a family much given to dying of consumption, and a young marquess cousin is, per haps, inevitable. Lord Rotherwood was Mr. Mohun's ward, and having a dull home of his own, found his chief happiness as well as all the best influences of his life, in the merry, highly-principled, though easy going life at his uncle's, whom he revered like a father, while his eager, somewhat shatter-brained nature often made him a butt to his cousins. All this may account for the tone of camcmdem'e with which the scattered members of the family meet again, especially around Lilias, who had, with her cleverness and enthusiasm, always been the leading member of the group.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an autobiographical tale of life in a large Victorian family. The author, who remains nameless in the text, narrates her early life from childhood through to adolescence. Her experiences are framed within the domestic sphere, and she records the lives of her parents and siblings as well as her governess. Everyday trials and tribulations of family life are humorously described and contrasted with the more extraordinary events surrounding the family, such as the accidental death of the author's mother in a mountaineering accident. The author presents a vivid picture of family life in the mid 19th century, when large family sizes were commonplace and the family was considered the most important unit of society. A valuable historical insight into the lives of Victorian middle classes, the book also explores how, even after death, the actions of one family member can continue to shape the lives of those left behind. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
