Excerpt from The Adventures of Philip, Vol. 2 of 2: On His Map Through the World Showing Who Robbed Him, Who Helped Him and Who Passed Him by to Which Is Now Prefixed a Shabby Genteel Story I don't think poor General Baynes ever had a proper sense of his situation, or knew how miserable he ought by rights to have been. He was not uncheerful at times: a Silent man, liking his rubber and his glass of wine; a very weak person in the common affairs of life, as his best friends must own; but, as I have heard, a very tiger in action. I know your opinion of the General, Philip used to say to me, in his grandiloquent way. You despise men who don't bully their wives; you do, sir! You think the General weak, I know, I know. Other brave men were so about women, as I dare say you have heard. This man, so weak at home, was mighty on the war - path; and in his Wigwam are the scalps of countless warriors.
