Excerpt from Christopher in His Sporting Jacket
Reprint. Of Wilson, the boy, the Young Kit of the Sporting Jacket, Mrs. Gordon, his daughter, writes in her biography: In his childish years John Wilson was as beautiful and animated a creature as ever played in the sunshine. And he was indeed a brilliant and beautiful boy, with a touch of that ideal, Wordsworthian boyhood about him that lights up those coarser pleasures which he followed with such zest, with real intimations of im mortality. It is no wonder that, as he him self tells us at the end of Christopher at the moment of leave-taking, when at the age of twelve he was about to go to the University of Glasgow, his friends and teachers even then under the spell of the personality of one so precocious and yet so blithe and gay and high-spirited, should have predicted for him a life that was sure to lead to honor, and riches, and a splendid name.
