Author Description

Excerpt from Some Account of Mrs. Clarinda Singlehart Yew Tree he was undeniably a gentleman, who might probably not have put on his best black coat, to travel along dusty roads, where nobody knew him if it were his best coat, it was not a very new one. It was difficult to guess his age, because he had that fresh, blooming com plexion which, if some one had told you he was thirty, would have made you say, Well, I should have thought him younger and that thoughtful and sometimes dreamy look which, if you were told he was five-and-twenty, would have made you say, Well, I should have thought him Older. His blue, well-opened eye bespoke sweetness and intelligence, and an indescribable air of simplicity and single-mindedness struck you in his look, his voice, and in his whole demeanour.
