Excerpt from Young Earnest the Romance of a Bad Start in Life That was all he knew, and there was the sting Of injustice in this present intrusion in the Scottish glen, hallowed by the delights Of a young love which boy and girl had arranged should shake the world into a wonder at its glory. A sordid family history was a clog upon romance, and our young man was that ear nest creature, a romantic. A stolen love, for she lived at the great house taken by her father for the sport Of the autumn months, and he was staying with his great-aunt janet, an ex governess, in the village, as he had done ever Since he was eleven, for his holidays.
