Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from Changing Winds: A Novel It would be absurd to sat of Mr. Quinn that he was an ill-tempered man, but it would also be absurd to say that he was of a mild disposition. William Henry Matier, a talker by profession and a gardener in his leisure moments, summarised Mr. Quinn s character thus: He d ate the head off you, thon lad would, an beg your pardon the minute after! That, on the whole, was a just and adequate description of Mr. Quinn, and certainly no one had better qualifications for forming an estimate of his employers character than William Henry Matier; for he had spent many years of his life in Mr. Quinn s service and had, on an average, been discharged from it about ten times per annum. Mr. Quinn, the younger son of a poor landowner in the north of Ireland, had practised at the Bar without success. His failure to maintain himself at the law was not due to ignorance of the statutes of the land or to any inability on his part to distort their meaning: it was due solely to the fact that he was a Unionist and a gentleman.

Excerpt from Changing Winds: A Novel Mr. Quinn, of course, treated every Englishman he met with courtesy, for he was an Irish gentleman, and he had sometimes been heard to speak affectionately of some per son Of English birth. The chief result Of this civility, conjoined with the ferocity of his political statements, was that his English friends invariably spoke of him as a typical Irishman. They looked upon him as so much comic relief to the more serious things of their own lives, and seemed constantly to expect him to perform some amusing antic, some innately Celtic act of comic folly. At such times, Mr. Quinn felt as if he could annihilate an Englishman. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
